Trappist Caskets - Memorial Tree Planting

For each person who is buried in a Trappist Casket or Urn, a tree will be planted in New Melleray’s award winning, sustainable forest. This living memorial is our way to honor your loved one and to give back to the earth. The tree will be planted in the springtime of the year and the occasion will be consecrated by a special blessing of the monks. A notice will be sent to the family indicating the time and location of the planting, and for whom the tree was planted.
