Where your trees are planted
Your trees go into land stripped by past logging, where fresh roots hold the soil and draw carbon back from the sky. Every tree is a species native to its region.
Planting locations
Verified projects across Senegal, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Brazil, India, and Vietnam. Select any marker to see the project.
Native species only
The species we plant already grow wild in each region, so they take root easily and the creatures that depend on them return. Never monoculture plantations.
Real restoration projects
Planting is directed to reforestation projects on damaged land, chosen by our partner for the difference new forest makes there.
Tended by local crews
Trees are planted and cared for by local people, so your gift supports the community that looks after the forest as well as the land.

Why a memorial tree, instead of flowers
Cut flowers fade within a week. A memorial tree keeps growing for decades, and it gives something back to the earth.
It clears the air
For the whole of its life a tree keeps drawing carbon dioxide out of the air and returning oxygen in its place.
It shelters wildlife
As it fills out, a native tree becomes a feeding ground and a nesting place for the birds, bees, and insects around it.
It stays
Long after the service, the tree keeps growing. A quiet, living reminder that remains for years.
Our reforestation partner, 1ClickImpact
The planting itself is run by 1ClickImpact, whose crews work at confirmed reforestation projects and log every tree they put in the ground. Your order pays for that work, and they send back the record of where it was done.
Common questions about memorial tree planting
What families usually want to know before they plant.
How long does it take to plant a memorial tree?
Your certificate is ready the moment you check out. The trees themselves are planted at the chosen site four to eight weeks after your order, during the site’s next planting window.
How do I know my trees were really planted?
You receive the name of the site chosen for your planting and its exact coordinates, recorded on your certificate. 1ClickImpact logs every tree its crews put in the ground.
Can I track my order?
Yes. When trees are planted in memory of someone with a LoveKept memorial, the planting is recorded on that memorial so family can follow it. Every order also comes with a certificate showing the site and its coordinates.
How much does it cost to plant a memorial tree?
A single tree is 19 dollars, and larger groves bring the price per tree down, up to a grove of 100 for 449 dollars. There are no added taxes or fees.
Where are the memorial trees planted?
At verified reforestation sites in regions recovering from deforestation, including Senegal, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Brazil, India, and Vietnam. Each site uses species native to the area.
What is on the certificate, and can I change it?
It records your dedication, the number of trees, the planting date, and the chosen site with its coordinates. It downloads right after checkout, and we can re-issue it if you need to correct a name.
Can I plant trees every month?
Yes. At checkout you can choose to plant the same number of trees every month as an ongoing tribute. You can cancel anytime, and you receive a certificate for each planting.
Can I plant a tree instead of sending funeral flowers?
Yes. A memorial tree is a gentle alternative to cut flowers. It costs about the same, lasts for decades, and gives something back. If flowers suit the family better, LoveKept delivers those too.
