Tree Memorial Program

Planting a tree is one of the most meaningful ways to express sympathy. While flowers will fade, the thought of a young tree being planted for someone will last a lifetime. 

Our Tree Memorial Program makes a meaningful contribution to our local community by: 

  • Demonstrating an environmental commitment to the community
  • Appreciating those families they have been privileged to serve
  • Remembering those who have passed away in the previous year
  • Ensuring the continued growth and enhancement of our most precious resources in the Lake Simcoe watershed 

The Tree Memorial Program, which commenced in 2010, allows participating funeral homes the opportunity to make a donation directly to the Foundation. The donation then supports LSRCA restoration projects and assists in planting thousands of trees per year to help improve air and water quality and wildlife habitat for the future.

We look forward to t​his exciting opportunity which will both offer comfort to the families we serve and at the same time contribute to local reforestation efforts.”
