Leave a Living Legacy: Memorial  Tree Dedication Programs

In the serene embrace of nature, we offer a unique and heartfelt way to honour the lives of departed loved ones. The Memorial Tree dedication program in Lakefield Cemetery provides a beautiful, living alternative to traditional monuments. Furthermore, these trees allow families to commemorate a life well-lived while protecting the local environment. Consequently, your tribute contributes to the natural beauty of the Kawarthas for generations.

Memorial Tree Options

Explore the Memorial Walkway

Within the tranquil Sunset Meadow section, you will find our Memorial Walkway. This path offers profound peace because it features native Canadian Maples. Specifically, we plant Sugar Maples for their spectacular autumn colors. Alternatively, we offer Red Maples for their vibrant buds and year-round color. Because these trees are native to Ontario, they thrive in our local climate.

Dedicating a Historical Mature Tree

Perhaps you wish to honor a loved one with the strength of an established tree. Therefore, we offer a historical selection of mature trees located throughout the cemetery grounds. By choosing an existing Memorial Tree Dedication in Lakefield Cemetery, you select a landmark that already provides a soaring canopy. This choice offers immediate shade and a sense of permanent history. In addition, our team installs a stately plaque to mark your dedicated tree.

 

Planting a New Tribute Sapling

If you want to watch a tribute grow alongside your family history, you may plant a new tree. We coordinate these plantings with our long-term landscape plan. Planting a new native tree symbolizes life’s continuity. As the sapling matures, it becomes a “living monument” nourished by the earth. Furthermore, our professional grounds team manages every new tree. We ensure these saplings thrive for centuries without interfering with future interments.
