Planting Roots of Remembrance: The Memorial Tree Program
At Creran Celebration Etherington & Creran Funeral Home, we understand the importance of preserving memories and honoring lives in meaningful ways. Our web based Memorial Tree Program offers families and friends a unique and lasting tribute that not only commemorates a life but also helps heal the Earth.
A Living Tribute with Lasting Impact
When you choose to have a memorial tree planted, you do more than place a tree in the ground. You are symbolically extending a legacy and creating a greener, healthier world. Each memorial tree represents a living legacy, a growing testament to the love and memory shared with those who have passed on.
A new memorial tree will be planted in memory in the area of greatest need, as determined by American Forests and their network of forestry partners throughout North America. Each donation includes:
- A
memorial tree planted in your loved one’s honor
- An
official certificate of recognition, included with your email receipt
- The
purchaser's name listed on the tribute wall of the loved one’s online memorial
Trees That Heal and Help
Through our partnership with American Forests and their American ReLeaf program, we can plant a diverse selection of trees in critically needed reforestation zones across North America. These include:
- Ponderosa Pine
- Red Spruce
- Long Leaf Pine
- Jack Pine
- White Bark Pine
- Thornscrub
- White Oak
These trees are planted in areas affected by wildfire, pests, disease, and environmental degradation, helping to restore forest ecosystems and create a better future for generations to come.
Why a Memorial Tree?
In today's world of growing environmental challenges, planting a memorial tree is a powerful and thoughtful way to honor someone’s life. It's a gesture of hope, growth, and healing—a way to embed a cherished memory into the very fabric of our planet. The Memorial Tree Program offers a sustainable and deeply personal alternative to traditional remembrances while actively supporting the fight against climate change.
