Donate to the Memory Tree
On December 4th, the “Memory Tree” will be illuminated for the 2026 holiday season. The little tree will be adorned with hundreds of tiny white lights, each light representing someone near and dear who has passed away.
A family remembrance donation is $25; an individual remembrance is $10. Honorees’ names will appear on a board beside the tree.
Donation deadline November 25 at 5:00PM
