Remembering someone you love
Each copper or steel leaf on the memory tree is engraved with the name of your cherished loved one, a poignant, lasting tribute to them that can also be shared with your family and friends.
Your engraved leaf will remain hanging on the memory tree for as long as your monthly contribution* continues. If you’d prefer, you can make an annual gift instead. In this instance we will contact you each year to ask if you would like your leaf to remain on the memory tree with a repeat annual donation, or if you would like it returned to you as a keepsake.
If you would like to experience the remembrance garden, it is accessed via the path to the left of the main hospice building in Wroughton, into our main garden. The remembrance garden is located in the lower left hand section, beside the blue summer house.
Once you have decided which leaf you would like we will just need the name of your loved one to engrave on your leaf.
*minimum term for monthly donations is 12 months.
You can order your leaf by calling us on 01793 816111, or email dataadmin@prospect-hospice.net to request an order form in the post.
