Create a meaningful gift here: [ Give a gift](https://ecotree.green/en/give-a-gift). Or, choose a tree directly from our [TreeShop](https://ecotree.green/en/treeshop) and honour someone special. ### Our selection of memorial trees Trees have different symbolic meanings. For example, Oak symbolises prosperity and longevity, Douglas Fir represents constancy and resistance, and Beech is associated with knowledge and wisdom. This gives you the possibility to choose a tree that symbolises the characteristics of the person you would like to commemorate. The tree will be planted in one of our forests (in France) alongside other trees that may be planted for other occasions, such as births, forming a circle of life. The tree will remain in our forest, continue growing, and benefit biodiversity. ![](https://bocdn.ecotree.green/pack/0001/05/e9fb3c3e9dcddec7c0de65b7360bdaf61c20e9f9.png?d=240x135) ![Flag DK](https://img.ecotree.green/graphism/flags/dk.svg) Offer expired -15% [See details](https://ecotree.green/en/article/6864) [Danish All Saint Day bundle](https://ecotree.green/en/article/6864) €61.20 €72 4 trees Different regions Several locations ![](https://bocdn.ecotree.green/pack/0001/05/e9fb3c3e9dcddec7c0de65b7360bdaf61c20e9f9.png?d=240x135) ![Flag FR](https://img.ecotree.green/graphism/flags/fr.svg) Offer expired -15% [See details](https://ecotree.green/en/article/6767) [All Saints Day bundle](https://ecotree.green/en/article/6767) €48.96 €57.60 4 trees Yzeures-sur-Creuse forest Several locations ![](https://bocdn.ecotree.green/essence/0001/06/3d41f6a299752e5656ee2e0486ee9bbc66a4d8d4.jpg?d=240x135) ![Flag FR](https://img.ecotree.green/graphism/flags/fr.svg) [See details](https://ecotree.green/en/article/7785) [Aspen](https://ecotree.green/en/article/7785) €18 Age: 35 to 40 years old Laneuville forest Meuse, Grand Est, France Quantity Add to cart Please note that this is promotional communication.

Giving a tree as a memorial gift to a deceased person's loved ones is a thoughtful way to express your sympathy. It is a personal way for them to remember or celebrate the life of the person and signify that the person's memory lives on, not only through their loved ones, but through the roots of a growing tree. The rustling of the branches and leaves in the wind will whisper the past of a life once lived.

[4.7604 reviews ![google-avis]()](https://g.co/kgs/8fKmiW) ![Jean-René M.]() Jean-René M. Google Review - October 2024 "Very nice idea to offer a tree for a deceased. Greener than flowers. A lasting memory." ![Annick D.]() Annick D. Google Review - December 2024 "We became aware of this company after the death of our dad! We found the concept interesting, and offered trees to our children and grandchildren. Congratulations to the EcoTree Team, which was very responsive and attentive to our messages. " ### Do you still have questions? We have the answers! #### How do I gift a memorial tree the loved one(s) of a deceased? We recommend that you create a gift when purchasing the tree to be able to send the tree to the family or loved ones of the deceased. To do this, click on the ‘Create a gift ’ button when you are in your basket. You can then create a gift card with a personalised message for the receiver of the tree. That way, the receiver of the tree will be able to read about the tree, the species, the forest where it is planted, and the GPS coordinates. #### Can we name the tree? We do not physically label the trees, as we want to protect our forests as best as possible. However, the receiver of the tree will be able to name the tree virtually from their EcoTree account. We do provide GPS coordinated for each tree, which is accessible from the EcoTree account, and as our forests usually are open from April to October, you and the receiver(s) of the tree are welcome to visit the tree if you wish to do so. #### Is it possible to participate in the planting of the tree? Some trees you can find in our TreeShop are already planted. But if this is not the case, the plantations will be done by our foresters. Several hundred young trees are planted in one day, and planting dates depend on weather conditions, the availability of plants in the nursery and that of forestry workers. Therefore, it is too complicated to plan to allow the public to attend the plantings. #### Will the tree forever stand in the forest? The trees have a cutting horizon just like our other trees. If you wish for the tree to stand in the forest for as long as possible we recommend opting for a tree species with a long harvesting horizon, such as a Corsican Pine. You can check the estimated time before cutting of each tree in the TreeShop. #### How are EcoTree's memorial trees different from others? EcoTree memorial trees are not just symbols: they are real trees planted and managed sustainably in our forests in Denmark and France. Unlike other sites that offer to “plant a tree for a deceased person” in a symbolic or virtual way, EcoTree allows you to become the actual owner of a tree. Each tree grows in a forest managed by our forestry teams according to the principles of sustainable and nature-friendly management. It grows, stores carbon, promotes biodiversity, and helps to leave a living, real mark. Giving or planting a memorial tree with EcoTree is a way of paying tribute to a loved one while supporting the preservation of European forests. #### What does a memorial tree cost? At EcoTree, a **memorial tree** costs on average **around €15**, depending on the species and the forest in which it is planted. This price reflects the **actual value of a living tree**, rather than a simple symbolic gesture. Unlike other companies or organisations, **we do not use any intermediaries**: our forestry teams carry out the **planting, maintenance and sustainable management** of each tree in our own forests in France and Denmark. This means you become the full owner of your memorial tree, which grows in a sustainably managed and certified forest. You can track its progress from your customer account, receive news about the forest, and even visit it. When it reaches maturity in many decades, the tree is harvested responsibly and the timber contributes to the transition to a low-carbon economy. Planting a **tree for a deceased loved one** with EcoTree is therefore a way of **offering a lasting, tangible and meaningful tribute**, while supporting forest conservation. ![ecotree](https://img.ecotree.green/flora/drone/lanrivain-fr-03.jpg?d=70x70)Nicole has started a [subscription of 1 tree in Denmark](/en/grow-your-own-danish-forests) ![ecotree](https://img.ecotree.green/flora/drone/lanrivain-fr-03.jpg?d=70x70)Cara has started a [subscription of 1 tree in France](/en/grow-your-own-forests) ![ecotree](https://img.ecotree.green/flora/drone/lanrivain-fr-03.jpg?d=70x70)Kirsten True has started a [subscription of 1 tree in Denmark](/en/grow-your-own-danish-forests) ![ecotree](https://img.ecotree.green/flora/drone/lanrivain-fr-03.jpg?d=70x70)Florian has started a [subscription of 1 tree in France](/en/grow-your-own-forests) ![ecotree](https://img.ecotree.green/flora/drone/lanrivain-fr-03.jpg?d=70x70)Christian has started a [subscription of 1 tree in France](/en/grow-your-own-forests) ![ecotree](https://bocdn.ecotree.green/essence/0001/05/cffd621dcc14f676d0fe0b1bf6182ea25e944c2e.png?d=70x70)Matteo purchased [1 Douglas fir](http://ecotree.green/en/article/7625) from Priziac forest (Morbihan, FR) ![ecotree](https://bocdn.ecotree.green/essence/0001/06/3d41f6a299752e5656ee2e0486ee9bbc66a4d8d4.jpg?d=70x70)English purchased [1 Aspen](http://ecotree.green/en/article/7785) from Laneuville forest (Meuse, FR) ![ecotree](https://bocdn.ecotree.green/essence/0001/03/32203a7f32688057f0dfc54b3c3cdac051c98200.jpeg?d=70x70)Simon purchased [1 Vancouver fir](http://ecotree.green/en/article/8038) from The Old Gravel Forest in Nysum (Nordjylland, DK) ![ecotree](https://bocdn.ecotree.green/essence/0001/05/cffd621dcc14f676d0fe0b1bf6182ea25e944c2e.png?d=70x70)Ling gave away [1 Douglas fir](http://ecotree.green/en/article/7625) from Priziac forest (Morbihan, FR) ![ecotree](https://bocdn.ecotree.green/essence/0001/05/bbf503233e690bdf7d41810c968a5201a9fcec86.jpg?d=70x70)vincent purchased [1 Ash](http://ecotree.green/en/article/8135) from The Old Gravel Forest in Nysum (Nordjylland, DK) ![ecotree](https://bocdn.ecotree.green/essence/0001/05/cffd621dcc14f676d0fe0b1bf6182ea25e944c2e.png?d=70x70)Genie gave away [1 Douglas fir](http://ecotree.green/en/article/7625) from Priziac forest (Morbihan, FR) ![ecotree](https://bocdn.ecotree.green/hero/0001/05/dc7bd18164c5e8be1dc69c2aa3f14ca0e5d8cfaf.jpg?d=70x70)Pierre helped preserve 259.38 m² of the [Restoration of burned forests in the Aude department, France ](http://ecotree.green/en/article/8213) project in Aude forest (Aude, FR) ![ecotree](https://bocdn.ecotree.green/pack/0001/06/3ba24296b4cbc7917ed762f9d9ea42b3d2a67c89.jpg?d=70x70)Julien purchased [4 The perfect forest gift bundles](http://ecotree.green/en/article/8211) from Laneuville forest (Meuse, FR) ![ecotree](https://bocdn.ecotree.green/essence/0001/05/2571c5b6779e98ad58bff748b04285e66ca54c5b.png?d=70x70)Jason gave away [1 Sessile Oak](http://ecotree.green/en/article/3764) from Orø-Margrete Forest (Sjælland, DK) ![ecotree](https://bocdn.ecotree.green/essence/0001/05/2571c5b6779e98ad58bff748b04285e66ca54c5b.png?d=70x70)RAPHAEL purchased [6 Sessile Oak](http://ecotree.green/en/article/3764) from Orø-Margrete Forest (Sjælland, DK) ![ecotree](https://bocdn.ecotree.green/essence/0001/05/2571c5b6779e98ad58bff748b04285e66ca54c5b.png?d=70x70)Artturi purchased [1 Sessile Oak](http://ecotree.green/en/article/3764) from Orø-Margrete Forest (Sjælland, DK) ![ecotree](https://bocdn.ecotree.green/pack/0001/06/3ba24296b4cbc7917ed762f9d9ea42b3d2a67c89.jpg?d=70x70)Felix purchased [1 The perfect forest gift bundle](http://ecotree.green/en/article/8211) from Laneuville forest (Meuse, FR) ![ecotree](https://bocdn.ecotree.green/pack/0001/05/025e16b1084fc6e6b96429cb736f094c8a626452.png?d=70x70)Max gave away [1 Small Danish forest bundle bundle](http://ecotree.green/en/article/7698) from The Old Gravel Forest in Nysum (Nordjylland, DK) ![ecotree](https://bocdn.ecotree.green/pack/0001/05/025e16b1084fc6e6b96429cb736f094c8a626452.png?d=70x70)Maryam purchased [1 Small Danish forest bundle bundle](http://ecotree.green/en/article/7698) from The Old Gravel Forest in Nysum (Nordjylland, DK) ![ecotree](https://bocdn.ecotree.green/essence/0001/06/27f41525219097d378ed49cf99c36a3e10903216.jpg?d=70x70)vincent gave away [1 Field maple](http://ecotree.green/en/article/7830) from Laneuville forest (Meuse, FR) ### Added.
