THE HORTICULTURAL REMEMBRANCE PROGRAM
The Foundation's Horticultural Remembrance Program offers families an opportunity
to memorialize their loved ones while enhancing the natural
charm and heritage of Cypress Lawn Memorial Park and Arboretum.
By giving a special donation to the Cypress Lawn Heritage Foundation,
family members can designate a "memorial planting" in honor
of their loved one.
CATEGORIES
A New Beginning
For a $1000 donation, a new tree will be planted "in memory"
of your loved one. A memorial plaque will be placed on the tree
for a period of ten years. In addition, your loved one's name
will be inscribed and displayed permanently on the Horticultural
Remembrance Plaque located in Cypress Lawn's Main Office. After
the initial ten-year sponsorship period, the donor will have the opportunity
to renew the "living" tribute to their loved one.
Nature's Tribute
For a $500 donation, an established tree already planted within
the cemetery/arboretum may be selected. An "In Memoriam" plaque
will be placed on the tree for a period of five years. After
the initial five-year sponsorship period, the donor will have the
opportunity to renew the "living" tribute to their loved one.
Blooming Seasons
A contribution of $250 will be used to plant and maintain
flowers in a seasonal planting bed within the cemetery/arboretum.
A memorial plaque will be placed within the bed for one full
planting season (March through October), that reads: Portions
of plantings in this bed were made possible by donations to
the Cypress Lawn Heritage Foundation's Horticultural Remembrance
Program in memory of __________." The type of material planted
will be carefully selected by Cypress Lawn's horticulturists
and will be appropriate for the season.
TERMS OF THE ENDOWMENT
Unfortunately, because plants and trees do not live forever,
we cannot endow them indefinitely. It is impossible to predict
the life span of any living thing. While we are confident that
newly planted trees will remain healthy, they do occasionally
succumb to diseases and other life-threatening events, such
as lightning strikes, unusual weather conditions, etc.
HOW THE MONEY IS USED
Your contribution will be earmarked for conservation and enhancement
of Cypress Lawn's arboretum and horticultural endeavors. Not
only will your donation offset the cost of purchasing new trees
and plants for the grounds, your contribution helps maintain
the beautiful natural environment of Cypress Lawn.
YOUR DONATION IS TAX-DEDUCTIBLE
Your contribution is tax deductible. You will receive a written
acknowledgement of your donation from the Cypress Lawn Heritage
Foundation. For further details, you may wish to contact your
tax preparer.
