The Trees of Life are permanent fixtures at the Hospice Center for Caring and Education, Estelle's House, Sylvia's House, The Legacy House and The Tuscany House. These exquisite, hand-crafted trees are mounted on the walls where visitors can appreciate and enjoy them.

The solid walnut tree trunk and its branches glisten with 500 brass leaves and butterflies. Each one displays the name of someone you wish to thank, honor, reward, commemorate or memorialize.

The Tree of Life offers a number of recognition levels, and each is intended to fulfill a specific donor category.

The Tree of Life is dedicated to those who wish to remember or honor others by their caring and generous gifts. Tree of Life memorials are tax deductible; the amount varies with the memorial selected. A letter from Hospice of Marion County acknowledges each donation and provides information for the contributor's tax files.
