Developed by the Batesville Casket Company, in agreement with the United States Department
of Agriculture Forest Service, the program has been responsible for reforesting many thousands of acres with millions of trees.
When you select a Batesville casket or urn Ardmore Memorial will make arrangements, at no additional cost to you, for a tree seedling to
be planted in a national forest. The Living Memorial Program has contributed over seven million trees in two decades.
The species and location of the tree are determined by one of the government agencies in charge, based upon the greatest reforestation
need. While the tree bears no visible identification, you can take great pride in knowing that you are helping contribute to a major environmental initiative.
Your family will receive a special certificate from the agency in charge of that particular tree planting activity in the United States.
More than just a fitting tribute, this program provides for trees that shelter our wildlife, reduce water and wind erosion and contribute to the purity of
the air we breathe.
