Our annual service is a day-long self-guided Memorial Forest “open house day”.
Everyone is invited to come and go on their own time that day, or any day of the year, with friends and loved ones.

You are invited to visit the Wall-Custance Memorial Forest and Walking Trail at the University of Guelph Arboretum all year round.
Wall-Custance Memorial Forest Program Archive
The Wall-Custance Memorial Forest program provides an opportunity to commemorate the life of a loved one in a special way; by planting a tree — a living memorial. A memorial tree serves as a source of comfort and meaning to those who have suffered a loss and helps to ease them through a difficult time. As a life ends, a new life begins. This program is not restricted to those served by the Wall-Custance Funeral Home and Chapel. Everyone is invited to participate.
