Few of nature's wonders give such lasting satisfaction as trees. People have always loved and enjoyed their beauty and pleasant shade, and have planted them to mark important steps on life's journey: marriage, the birth of a child, the death of a loved one. No memorial could be more fitting or symbolic than a tree. Shade trees act out life's cycle each year, bursting forth in the exuberance of youthful springtime, coming to full leaf during the long days of summer, and climaxing with the golden glow of autumn. Evergreens, whose endurance through the long, cold winter represents man's eternal spirit. And ornamental trees, whose beauty symbolizes all that is beautiful in life. Typically, memorial trees have had to be small so that they could easily be handled and transplanted; transplanting large trees was simply uneconomical. Now, Greenwoods, using it's specially designed equipment, can transplant large trees anywhere in the Delaware Valley to create a fitting memorial for your loved one. Many species are available to choose from.

Greenwoods' standard memorial tree is a high quality shade tree common to the Delaware Valley, such as maple, oak, and ash. You may also select an evergreen or ornamental tree or specimen such as a blue spruce, dogwood, cherry or weeping hemlock for example. Most parks, schools, churches, cemeteries, universities and country clubs welcome memorial trees. Thus your loved one's memorial tree can be planted in a public place for many to enjoy.
