Memorial Tree & Bench Program
Memorial Tree & Bench Program
Niagara Parks strives to plant numerous trees throughout its 1,325 hectares (3,274 acres) of property each year. This effort is part of an ongoing mandate to preserve and protect the natural landscape for millions of guests from around the world. The Niagara Parks Memorial Tree & Bench Program allows relatives and friends to participate in this important cause.
A Lasting Tribute
The gift of a tree or bench serves as a lasting tribute that benefits both the community and the natural environment. Memorial trees and benches offer a unique way to remember a loved one in one of Niagara Parks’ many beautiful settings.

Memorial Tree Cost & Details
Niagara Parks is responsible for the installation of your gift. Specific selection and placement are by request and subject to the discretion of Niagara Parks but will be considered in collaboration with the donor.
Memorial trees are only planted in the spring and fall to ensure they thrive. Please note that there may be an extended lead time to acquire suitable trees, and the planting of some species may be delayed to align with their optimal planting time.
The cost for each memorial tree is $600, which includes the tree, materials, planting, a custom memorial label, and ongoing maintenance. Memorial labels include a personalized message, as well as the common and scientific name of the tree.
Memorial Benches in Niagara Parks
A memorial bench creates a lasting, reflective space within Niagara Parks' picturesque, natural settings. As with memorial trees, bench placement is subject to the discretion of Niagara Parks but will be considered in collaboration with the donor. Memorial benches provide a place for visitors to rest and reflect, enhancing their experience in the park.

Memorial Bench Cost & Details
Memorial benches are installed in the spring and fall. Please note that our benches are custom-made and may take several months to receive. There may also be an extended lead time to allow for the installation process.
The cost for memorial benches ranges from $3250 to $5000 and includes bench, cement pad, materials, a custom memorial label, and ongoing maintenance. In some cases, and subject to approval, donors may request to replace an existing park bench with a new memorial bench, using the current cement pad.
