Memorial Trees
Rowan Tree (Tree of Life)
One of the main reasons tree memorials are now so popular is that even in death, life needs to be celebrated. The Rowan Tree is the Celts tree of life making this particular living memorial even more special.
Plant this for someone who had a love for life like no one else.
Oak Tree (Father of the Woods)
The Grand Oak Tree is nothing less than perfect to plant for a memorial. The strong trunk and branches will grow and stretch for hundreds of years to honour and mark the memory of a very special person.
Known as the king of the woods, it’s a beautiful tree to plant in memory of a father, grandfather or any special man in your life.
Star Magnolia Tree
Flowering trees are a popular option to plant for memorials. The pretty blossoms are a sweet memento that arrives every spring.
The star magnolia is especially beautiful and would make a lovely memorial tree for a mother, sister or aunt.
Other Memorial Trees
Even with some of the suggestions above, any tree that feels right for the situation will be the perfect memorial. If you know their favourite tree or plant then go for that particular variety. Planting their favourite tree adds another layer of meaning to the living memorial and makes it especially unique to them.
We have memorial gift packs available for both people and pets, they come with your choice of native tree sapling and an engraved plaque and plinth that can be inscribed with a message or a date.
Where to Plant Your Memory Tree
Choosing the location to plant is just as important as the actual tree. Planting the tree close to home in the garden helps keep the memory of the person nearby, the tree can be gazed on and be a reminder of all the special times that were had together.
If you have a more sentimental location in mind, it could be a place frequently visited by them or just a place you know they loved, you could see if it’s possible to plant the tree there. The tree will be enjoyed by many people, bringing happiness from a difficult situation as it grows.
If you choose to plant the tree away from home, always make sure to respect the area. Get in contact with any landowners or officials and make sure the tree won’t disrupt the area.
Choosing a potted tree will allow for the tree to be close by at all times, no matter if you plan to move house or your situation changes in any way, you can always take it with you.
We have lots of meaningful memorial gifts that you can choose for yourself or gift to someone else.
