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, so they take root easily and the creatures that depend on them return. Never monoculture plantations.
Planting locations
Verified projects across Senegal, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Brazil, India, and Vietnam. Select any marker to see the project.
- 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.
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.

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.
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 within eight weeks of your order, during the site’s next planting window.
How do I know my trees were really planted?
Your tree page at lovekept.co/my-trees names the site chosen for your planting and the partner planting it, with a map when the partner shares one, and your certificate records them too. 1ClickImpact logs every tree its crews put in the ground.
Can I track my order?
Yes. Your tree page at lovekept.co/my-trees shows the planting site, the partner and each stage (Dedicated, Gift cleared, Project assigned, Planting completed), and it updates on its own. Trees planted for a Lovekept memorial are listed on that memorial under the name you choose.
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.
How do I purchase a memory tree?
Choose a package on the plant a tree page, add your dedication, and check out. Your certificate downloads the moment you pay. If the tree is for someone with a Lovekept memorial, the planting is listed on their memorial, and you can follow every stage on your tree page.
What is the next step to plant a tree in honor of someone?
Open the plant a tree page, pick how many trees you want, and write who they are for. You pay once, receive the certificate right away, and the trees go in the ground at the chosen site within eight weeks.
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, your name and the number of trees, then the planting partner, the site and the planting date once they are known. 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, and you receive a certificate for each planting. Cancel anytime from Orders in your account, or reply to any receipt email.
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.
