Memorial tree

Plant Memorial Trees

Trees clean our air and water, create habitats for biodiversity, contribute to our health and wellbeing, and create jobs for social impact.

Honor a lost loved one with meaningful gift that will last for years to come. Your memorial tribute will go towards planting a tree in Appalachia.

Tree match

1 for 1 match

For each tree purchased, Kalas Funeral Home will match your order with an additional memorial tree.

We partner with various 501(c)(3) nonprofits that each have a mission to make it simple for anyone to help the environment by planting trees. Their projects span the globe and are done in partnership with local communities and knowledgeable experts to create an impact for nature, people, and wildlife. Reforestation helps to rebuild forests after fires and floods, provide jobs for social impact, and restore biodiversity. Many projects have overlapping objectives, creating a combination of benefits that contribute to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
