The Batavia Park District Memorial Program is an uplifting way to celebrate and commemorate the life of a loved one or to express sympathy or condolences for the loss of a friend or family member. The District offers several options to memorialize your loved one or to commemorate a special date or occasion. *Placement along the Batavia Riverwalk is no longer an option for a memorial bench or tree due to spatial limitations.
Memorial Trees
Memorial Trees leave a lasting legacy, which will grow stronger and blossom with life, year after year. They serve as a living tribute and celebration of life and will be enjoyed by countless generations to come. Trees are planted twice a year, in the spring and fall. Click here for a list of options.
What's Included?
The cost for a Memorial Tree is $800, which includes the cost of the tree, stone marker and installation. Tree options vary based on season.
