Honoring the Loss of a Beloved Pet with a Meaningful Memorial Tree Gift

Pets are more than just animals. To many people, they are members of the family, and when a pet passes on, the grief that a pet owner experiences can be every bit as deep as what one goes through when any other loved one dies. Still, it can be difficult to know how best to express sympathy when a pet passes on. With no funeral to attend or to send flowers for, you may struggle with how to tell your friend, family member or coworker that you are sorry for their loss. A Pet Memorial Tree Gift with Certificate is the perfect solution to this problem and is a gift that will make a lasting difference for the planet and be appreciated by the grieving pet owner for a lifetime as well.

Buying a Trees for a Change Pet Memorial Tree costs less than sending flowers for a funeral, but its impact is incredibly great. Every gift sold goes a little further toward helping keep U.S. National Forests lush, green and able to be enjoyed by future generations. Your gift will allow a tree to be planted in a part of a forest that has been destroyed by fire, and that departed pet's name will be forever linked with that tree through a national registry. The recipient of your gift will surely appreciate the gesture and know that you are there for them during this difficult time.

Unlike traditional pet loss presents, such as flowers or generic gift baskets, this living tribute offers comfort that grows and flourishes over time. It’s a unique way to honor a beloved pet and help restore life to fire-damaged forests.

To fully explain this Tree Gift, we send along a beautiful card with your gift. The card describes your gift and explains how the recipient can access photos and information about the location of the tree online. In addition, the recipient will receive information about including their pet in our Pet Memorial Photo Registry, an online gallery of pictures of pets that have been honored with memorial gifts. We can also print a personalized message to the recipient from you in the card.

The certificate included with the Pet Memorial Tree Gift can be displayed as a reminder both of your gift and the departed pet. The certificate includes our tree logo on one side and a message about the gift, the pet's name and the date on the other. For a small additional fee, we can place the certificate in a black recycled wood frame before shipping.

Whether you wish to have the Pet Memorial Tree with certificate sent to you for hand delivery to the recipient or want us to mail it to them on your behalf, Trees for a Change is ready to help you send along a touching tribute to a departed pet and provide comfort to a grieving pet owner who is special to you. Complete the form at the top right and click "Add to Cart" to purchase your memorial gift, and we'll get the order for the tree to be planted and process your gift within 1 to 3 business days.

Our Pet Sympathy memorial trees are planted in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service, focusing on areas most in need of restoration. Currently, we are planting in Sequoia National Forest, a place deeply affected by wildfire. Our priority is to plant where trees will make the biggest difference, so while you can’t select the exact location, you can be sure your pet memorial is helping to heal the earth.

Trees are planted each year in early summer, which is the best time for survival and growth. You’ll receive information about your tree’s location and can track it online using our Find Trees page. We also send occasional tree growth updates, so you can see the ongoing impact of your memorial gift.

Every pet memorial is registered with your pet’s name, creating a lasting tribute. Recipients can add their pet’s photo to our online Pet Memorial Photo Registry, joining a community of others who have honored their pets in this special way.

If you’re looking for unique gifts for pet loss, our living tribute stands apart from flowers or other sympathy gifts. It’s a gift that gives back to the planet, honors your pet, and provides comfort to those who grieve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our trees are planted in National Forests damaged by wildfires, in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service. When you choose one of our pet loss presents, you’re helping restore these precious lands in memory of a beloved pet. Currently, all trees are planted in Sequoia National Forest. We can’t offer location choices because each tree is planted where it can do the most good—making your loss of pet gift both meaningful and impactful.

You (or your gift recipient) can use our “Find Trees” tool in the top menu bar to search by pet name or order date. This allows you to view planting maps, baby tree photos, forest info, and sign up for future updates—making this one of the most unique gifts for pet loss available.

Yes! After ordering a gift for loss of a pet, you’ll automatically receive occasional email updates. We revisit the forest planting locations about every 5–10 years to take new photos of the growing trees. You’re free to unsubscribe at any time if you prefer not to receive these updates.

Yes! This loss of pet gift includes access to forest location information and directions for those who want to visit the area. Many families find great peace in seeing where their tribute tree was planted. Please note that because we plant many trees at a time to restore large areas of forest, we can't provide specific coordinates for individual trees.

We plan ahead by estimating the number of tribute trees we’ll need to plant for the calendar year, then the Forest Service plants those trees in early summer when survival rates are highest. We move on to a new location the next year once the current trees have all been dedicated. This process ensures that gift recipients—even those receiving their gifts late in the year—don’t face long waits for tree details. Every tree gifted through Trees for a Change is connected to a real baby tree planted in a specific forest.
