When a family purchases a Batesville casket, the funeral home will arrange for a tree to be planted through Batesville's Living Memorial® program. Sometimes the extra touches make all the difference in the world. Consider Batesville’s Living Memorial tree planting program...a simple concept that has grown from its inception in 1976 to become a major contributor to reforestation with more than 11 million trees planted as a lasting memorial to loved ones.

With every Batesville casket, urn or cremation container purchased, our special agreements with various government agencies arrange for a tree seedling to be planted in selected woodlands throughout the world. 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. It’s a way to honor your loved one with a lasting memorial while helping the environment.

The Living Memorial program helps ensure that future generations will know the beauty of a green planet — a lasting legacy to a life well lived. Your local funeral home can provide you with more information on how you can participate in this program.
