Tree Meanings

Dedicating a tree in the community parklands at Matara to celebrate a loved ones life is a beautiful landmark. It offers you a place to come, reflect, and remember them. We plant trees native to the area and have six species to choose from. The symbolism of trees can reflect the loved one you are celebrating.
