Tribute Garden
Celebrate. Remember. Preserve.
By contributing to our Tribute Garden fundraiser, you can preserve your loved one’s name in one of several meaningful ways:
Tribute Garden Sign | $100
This sign will be displayed prominently at the garden entrance, honoring your loved one’s legacy for all to see. Please note that the Tribute Garden Sign can hold a single name (ex. Debra Smith) or a family (ex. The Chambers Family).
Garden Plaques | $250
Gracefully integrated into the flower beds, each garden plaque offers a personal touch amidst the beauty of our floral displays.
Butterfly House or Planter Plaques | $500
These are placed within the butterfly house, where the tranquil environment reflects the spirit of your tribute.
Bench Plaques | $1000
Affixed to select benches throughout the estate, these plaques provide a peaceful spot for contemplation and remembrance.
