Serving Southern California with affordable, brand named caskets featuring Batesville & York

Batesville Living Memorial Program®

Since 1976, funeral service professionals have taken great pride in offering bereaved families the Living Memorial® program.

When you select a Batesville casket San Diego Caskets can arrange for a tree seedling to be planted in selected woodlands as a tribute to your loved one.

The program, developed by Batesville Casket Company in agreement with various government agencies, has been responsible for reforesting many thousands of acres with more than nine million trees. In the US alone, the Dept of Agriculture Forest Service has planted trees in most of the 156 national forests. Together, these forests represent an area about the size of California, Oregon and Washington combined, and stretch from Alaska to Puerto Rico.

Reforestation projects are also underway internationally in cooperation with The Canadian Forestry Association and the Grand River Foundation in Canada, the Austrailian Trust for conservation Volunteers and The National Forest Company in the United Kingdom.

More than just a fitting tribute, this program provides for trees that shelter our wildlife, reduce water and wind erosion and contribute to the purity of the air we breathe. Their existence brings comfort and hope. They ensure that generations to come will know the beauty of a green planet - a legacy to honor a life well-lived.
