In Spring of 2001, we launched an environmental initiative to plant trees in memories of loved ones who have passed away in what has been coined our Pinewood Memorial Forest.  In partnership with Scouts Canada, Lanark County Stewardship Council and Drummond North Elmsley Township, trees are planted annually in a conservation area and records are kept at the funeral home for who they were planted for.  The location of the forest is Code Rd (located at Rick’s Marine -- Hwy #7 West of Perth) and slightly north of Concession 5B. Although it is impossible to mark each tree individually, each year we designate a specific area where the trees are planted and provides the family an opportunity to visit the general area where their tree is located.  We recognize that we utilize many valuable resources, and as a result we have a responsibility to maintain a certain degree of environmental sustainability.  Although we never want to take away the significance of a cemetery, this provides another alternative for families to visit privately and reflect on a life that was lived. If you have any questions, would like a tree planted in memory of your loved one, or would like further information, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.
