MEMORI AL TR EE
P R O GR A M
Through the Town of Oakville’s Memorial Tree
Program you can purchase or adopt a tree in
memory of a loved one, to dedicate to a friend or
family member, or to commemorate a special event.
The gift of a tree is a lasting tribute and will benefit
the community as a whole by enhancing our
natural environment.
Town staff will select an appropriate new tree for
your chosen location, or identify an appropriate
tree for adoption in the requested park or cemetery.
Your new or adopted memorial tree will be cared for
by town staff in the same manner as other park trees.
For the health and survival of the tree, planting
of new trees will only take place in the spring
each year.
How to order
After choosing a park or cemetery for your
memorial tree, please fill out the order form.
The town requires a non-refundable deposit of
$250. After the tree is planted or adopted and
your plaque is installed, the town will invoice you
for the remaining balance.
Cost
A five year contract for new or adopted tree is
$2,163 plus tax.
The $2,163 initial payment covers the purchase,
planting and maintenance of your tree for the first
five years, plus a personalized cast bronze plaque.
The commemorative plaque, 16cm by 10cm
(6” x 4”), is placed at the base of your memorial
tree. The town will cover the cost of a one-time
replacement if your plaque is stolen or vandalized.
Placement of memorial wreaths, flowers or other
items on or around the tree is not permitted.
You will also receive a certificate acknowledging
the planting or tree adoption.
Contract renewal: $515 plus tax (fee subject to
change). A $515 fee is charged every five years
to cover the cost of regular tree care and
maintenance.
If you do not wish to renew your contract after
five years or we are unable to contact you, the
plaque will be removed and the tree will become
available for adoption. It is your responsibility to
inform our office with any change to your
contact information.
