Living Tree Donation Program

By donating money to the Living Tree Donation Program, you can help beautify our cemetery and honor the memory of a loved one. Why donate for trees?

Social Benefits: We like trees around us because they make life more pleasant. Most of us respond to the presence of trees beyond simply observing their beauty. We feel serene, peaceful, restful, and tranquil in the shade of trees.

Environmental Benefits: Trees alter the environment in which we live by moderating climate, improving air quality, conserving water, and harboring wildlife.

Trees Require an Investment: The biggest cost of trees and shrubs occurs when they are purchased and planted. Initial care almost always includes some watering. Leaf, branch, and whole tree removal and disposal can be expensive. Shade trees quickly grow to a size that may require the services of a professional arborist. Arborists have the knowledge and equipment needed to prune, spray, fertilize, and otherwise maintain a large tree.
