Lofty Oaks AssociationWhitaker Funeral Home is affiliated with the Lofty Oaks Association, a New Hampshire organization dedicated to reforestation and conservation efforts in South Carolina.
We arrange to have a tree planted for each service that we perform to provide a living memorial in honor of the deceased and to renew the forest life of South Carolina.
The Memorial Trees are planted in the spring and fall. This program is part of a large endeavor, to restore the landscape and our environment with the eternal beauty of living trees.
After each service, close family members and friends are informed that the memorial tree has been arranged. When professional foresters have planted the tree, the designated people will receive a certificate of planting suitable for framing and keeping in the family's history.
