memorial trees
Planted remembrance markers
Memorial trees are trees planted or dedicated in someone's memory, typically after their death.
Parks, cemeteries, and forests often host memorial tree programs where families can honor the deceased with a living tribute: We planted a memorial tree for my father in the city arboretum.
The practice appeals to those seeking an environmentally meaningful alternative to traditional monuments.
