A special way to remember a loved one
By dedicating a beautiful glass leaf on Rowcroft’s Memory Tree, you can honour, remember and celebrate the life of a loved one in a meaningful way.
Each stunning leaf is carefully hand-moulded by Teign Valley Glass, and is secured to the Memory Tree by way of a stainless steel plaque which is engraved with your loved one’s name and a memorable date, such as a birthday or anniversary.
The Memory Tree is situated in Rowcroft’s Sanctuary – a soothing and tranquil place that you are welcome to visit for quiet reflection.
Making your dedication
- Option 1 – Dedicate a leaf for a minimum monthly donation of £12.50 (for a full year) or your chosen amount.
- Option 2 – Dedicate a leaf for a year for a minimum donation of £150 or your chosen amount.
To organise your dedication, please contact us by filling in the form below, or telephone us on: 01803 217405.
Your leaf and the Memory Tree
Your leaf can be marked with one name (maximum of 30 characters including spaces) and one date. Please check spellings carefully as it will be printed exactly as you write it.
Rowcroft will determine the placement of your leaf on the tree. Your leaf will remain on the tree for a year. Near the end of this time, you will be invited to renew your leaf’s place on the tree for another year. If you no longer wish to do this, we will send your leaf to you in a special keepsake box.
If you would like to arrange a visit to the Sanctuary to view your leaf, please call 01803 217405.
A growing sense of comfort
After Karen Lennon’s beloved mum passed away, Karen dedicated a leaf on the Memory Tree as a poignant way of honouring her mum’s life.
“My brother and I thought it would be lovely to dedicate a leaf in her memory, as a wonderful way of paying tribute to her while supporting the hospice at the same time. It’s so fitting that her beautiful leaf nestles next to the leaf that she’d dedicated to my nan.”
Your support makes such a difference
By making a donation to Rowcroft, you can help our expert teams to provide care, comfort and support to patients with life-limiting illnesses and their families across South Devon.
“When my mum was diagnosed with cancer, Rowcroft offered lots of support and advice as well as complementary therapies and palliative care towards the end of her life,” says Karen. “We knew there was always a friendly voice at the end of the phone and nothing was too much trouble, even when we had to call nurses out in the night to administer morphine.
“My mum was always very involved and supportive of Rowcroft, as am I. It’s such a worthwhile charity that helps and cares for so many local families. I will be forever grateful for all the support we received in the last few months of her life.”
With thanks to local business for supporting us in the creation of the Memory Tree: Teign Valley Glass, Newton Abbot; PCH Manufacturing, Plymouth; Rob Hills Artist Blacksmith, The Forge; Hannah’s at Seale Hayne; Bay & Moor Engravers; The Artist’s Studios.
