Memorial & Commemorative Trees
Honor, Celebrate or Remember a Loved One with a Living Tribute!
At TREES Inc., we invite you to honor, celebrate or remember someone special with a living tribute that also enhances the beauty of our Terre Haute parks.
Why Choose a Commemorative Tree?
A memorial or commemorative tree serves as a lasting tribute to honor someone or mark an important event. These trees are living gifts that will beautify our parks and provide shade, comfort and joy for generations to come.
Types of Gifts
Gifts of Honor: Celebrate an achievement, express gratitude, or show your love for someone dear to you.
Gifts of Celebration: Mark a birthday, anniversary, wedding or the birth of a child with a tree that symbolizes your joy and love.
Gifts of Memory: Plant a memorial tree as a beautiful tribute to someone who has touched your life.
Tree Planting Details
Quality Assurance: Our trees are high-quality native Indiana hardwoods and are carefully selected and planted by professionals.
Species Selection: Tree species is determined by the location and needs of the particular park as well as species availability. Requests for a specific tree species are honored when possible, depending on availability.
Planting Schedule: Trees are planted in late fall.
Cost: The cost for each tree is $250, though prices may vary due to market fluctuations.
Submission Deadline: Deadline for ordering a tree to be planted each calendar year is Oct. 1.
Notification: TREES will send an acknowledgement of your gift to you and to the individual or family being remembered or honored. After planting, the individual or family will be notified of the location and species of the tree. A sign will be placed on the tree the summer following planting.
One-year Replacement: TREES Inc. will replace a tree if it fails to leaf out the first spring after planting or dies during its first year. Because many factors affect a tree’s long-term survival and growth, TREES cannot guarantee the tree after the first year.
Two Ways to Participate
Contribute to TREES Inc.: A donation of any amount supports TREES Inc.’s ongoing efforts to plant trees in community parks.
Sponsor an Individual Tree: Sponsor a tree planted in Deming or Collett Park in honor, celebration or memory of someone special. We will notify the family of the tree’s location after planting. Gifts from multiple donors honoring the same person or occasion may be combined to sponsor a tree.
