Every individual life is unique, and so is the way each family chooses to honor and remember their loved ones. We understand the importance of creating a lasting tribute that reflects the special bond you shared. That’s why we offer a variety of memorialization options beyond just a headstone, designed to help you celebrate a life beautifully lived and preserve cherished memories for generations to come.

Memorial Trees

Our Memorial Tree program offers a beautiful way to honor your loved one while enhancing the natural beauty of the cemetery. Family and friends can purchase a tree in memory of those who have passed, creating a living tribute that adds character and tranquility to our grounds for generations to come. The cemetery staff will handle the planting and care of the tree. Each tree comes with its own memorial plaque. The tree varieties offered are chosen based upon local availability and which can likely survive our climate and conditions. Trees are generally planted in designated locations throughout the grounds but we are open to your thoughts and suggestions.

QR Codes

MemoryLinks™ QR Codes allow you to tell the story of your loved one’s life to all who come to visit. The QR code is permanently attached to a monument and using the camera of a smartphone, links to a website dedicated to sharing the stories, pictures and videos of your loved ones.

Seeing headstones often brings questions about who a person was or what they did. So often stories and pictures are lost to time like finding an old picture but not knowing who’s in it. The evidence of their life is there, but the context is not. Memory Links is like a publicly available memory box that entire families can contribute to from all around the world.
