Memorial Bench and Tree Program
The Memorial Bench and Tree Program gives residents the opportunity to recognize or remember someone through a lasting feature in the community.
Applicants can request a memorial bench, memorial tree, or both. Locations are subject to approval and will be considered based on available space, site conditions and operational needs.
Memorial benches
New memorial benches feature a durable design made from recycled materials. As the program moves forward, these benches will gradually replace the original wooden benches installed through the previous memorial bench program.
The cost of a new bench includes the bench, plaque, installation and a one-time maintenance fee covering the bench site for approximately 15 years.
Bench fees
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| New bench, including plaque and approximately 15 years of maintenance | $4,185 |
| Concrete bench base, if required | $900 |
| Bench renewal – 15-year maintenance renewal | $450 |
| Plaque on a reused bench, including new plaque and 15-year maintenance renewal | $1,185 |
Reused bench placements have a maximum 15-year term.
Memorial trees
Memorial trees are selected and planted by the Municipality of Jasper’s Operations team.
Tree species are chosen based on the planting location to ensure the best fit for the site and to support the long-term health and diversity of Jasper’s urban forest.

| Deciduous tree, 1.5–2 inch caliper | $600 |
