How it works

Three simple steps, a memory that lasts for decades.

  1. Choose an obituary

    From a loved one's tribute page, select "Plant a tree" among the suggested gestures.

  2. Make it personal

    Add a message for the family, in your name or discreetly. From a single tree to a whole forest.

  3. The tree is planted in Switzerland

    It joins the next planting campaign, protected and cared for. Your tribute stays on the obituary forever.

From CHF 50.- — planting, protection and care included.

Why offer a tree?

A condolence gesture that means something — for the family and for the forest.

A tribute that lasts

Flowers fade within days. A tree grows for decades and becomes a living memory.

A gift to Swiss forests

You help reforest woodlands weakened by bark beetles and drought, and support biodiversity.

A trace that remains

Your name and message join the obituary forever, alongside the other tributes.

Almighty Tree plants and cares for native trees across Switzerland. The trees offered on Funere join their seasonal plantings — two large planting campaigns every year — and are looked after as they grow.

Your tree is planted during the next campaign following your order; the memorial line on the obituary page stays forever.
