Tree of Life

Dedicating a leaf on our Tree of Life is a unique and memorable way to remember someone special and support your local hospice

At the heart of Crimple House grounds stands a beautiful living Acer tree, its branches adorned with leaves in gold, silver and bronze. Each leaf is engraved with the name of someone deeply loved, a lasting tribute that forms part of our special Tree of Life.

We invite you to honour the memory of a friend or loved one by dedicating a leaf of your own. Your tribute will take its place among many others, creating a space of reflection, remembrance and connection.

By choosing a leaf, you are doing something truly meaningful. Not only will you create a lasting memorial, but your gift will also help us provide vital care and support to local people living with terminal illness and those experiencing bereavement. Together, these leaves form a growing canopy of care for our community.

Your chosen gold, silver or bronze leaf will be carefully engraved with your loved one’s name and placed on the Tree of Life,  a symbol of the enduring love and memories that remain with us always.

To dedicate a leaf and begin your regular gift, simply complete the form below or call us on 01423 878 628.

Plans for our Tree of Life

The planting of our beautiful Acer tree was the first of a three-stage process to rejuvenate the memory garden. A handmade fence and living willow arch have been added to the garden to create a space which offers a meaningful moment of calm and reflection for those visiting.

At Saint Michael’s Hospice, we understand how deeply important it is to have a place to reflect, remember, and feel close to a loved one. Our Tree of Life stands as a lasting tribute, as a symbol of enduring love and cherished memories.

We know that for many in our community, visiting the Tree of Life is a meaningful part of their journey through grief, remembrance, and healing. Over time, the leaves on our Tree, like the memories they hold, have weathered the seasons. While this natural aging reflects the passage of time, we believe each leaf deserves the same care and respect as the memories they honour.

That’s why we’re renewing the leaves on our Tree of Life. With gentle restoration, we’re refreshing this special space to ensure it continues to offer beauty, peace, and comfort for everyone who visits. Each leaf will stand as a lasting symbol of love and remembrance, its memory carefully preserved.

We’re proud to nurture this living symbol of remembrance, and we warmly invite you to dedicate a leaf in a loved ones memory. Your support not only honours your loved one but also helps Saint Michael’s Hospice continue to provide compassionate care to those who need us most. Please complete the form below
