Memory Tree Program

Want to give the gift of Life?   Consider a donation for a tree to be planted in memory of your loved one, or to help beautify our historic cemeteries. Memorial plaques can also be provided. Trees offer a serene and comfortable environment and work towards improving our urban canopy.

Where better to plant new life than in our sacred cemeteries?  Choose between a Saucer Magnolia and a Crepe Myrtle – each tree will be between 8′ and 10′ tall.   Your donation will be tax deductible to the extent provided by law. Trees are $400.00 without memorial plaque or $500.00 with a personalized plaque.

Through the Catholic Cemeteries Memory Tree Program you will have the opportunity to commemorate your loved ones in our nation’s majestic forests. In cooperation with the Plant-A-Tree Program, for every Memory Tree purchased, the Catholic Cemeteries will make a contribution in the name of your loved one to have another tree planted in a National Forest. You will also receive a certificate signed by an official of the USDA Forest Service.
