 "Trees
are the Earth's Endless Effort to Speak to Listening Heaven's"
Throughout history, people have planted trees to honor deceased
or living family and friends. These living, graceful legacies
not only honor the departed, they bring joy to those who live,
work and play under their branches.
The New Jersey Memorial Tree Program makes it easy to continue
that spirit of remembrance and generosity. A one-time contribution
provides a mature shade tree to a community of your choice,
or to a state park or forest. The donated tree serves to honor
while benefitting the community through cooling, air and noise
polllution mitigation and natural beauty.
Your contribution provides for the purchase, transportation
and planting and continued care of the shade tree in your
designated community. An acknowledgement card, reflecting
your donation in memory of your loved one, will be sent to
the donor or requested third party.
Your funeral director has the necessary form to formalize
your living memorial, or you can call the New Jersey Tree
Foundation at (609) 984-3856. The donation process is open
to any interested family or individual.
"Marking the Past, Greeting the Generations"
The New Jersey Memorial Tree Program was created with the
cooperation of the New Jersey Division of Parks and Foresty,
the New Jersey Tree Foundation, the New Jersey State Funeral
Director's Association, Inc., and the communities of New Jersey.
This program provides for the planting of memorial shade trees
across the state.
