How Much does a Memorial Tree Cost in Minnesota?

The short answer: $2,995, as a one-time preplanned fee, all inclusive.


If you’ve been wondering what a memorial tree costs in Minnesota, you’re not alone. Families are
looking for meaningful, lasting alternatives to traditional cemetery plots, and a memorial tree is
one of the most beautiful. Here at Sunset Sanctuary, we believe the price should be simple,
upfront, and free of surprises.


What’s Included in the $2,995
Our one-time preplanned fee covers everything:

  • Your legacy tree, chosen and planted for you
  • Space for up to 5 ashes, if you’d like family members to rest together
  • A full, forever website for your photos and life line
  • GPS coordinates so your loved ones can always find your tree
    There are no annual fees and no add-ons to budget for later. You pay once, and it’s done.

  • More Than a Tree: A Living Legacy
    A traditional headstone tells people your name and two dates. A memorial tree tells a much
    bigger story.
    With your forever website, you decide how you’ll be remembered. Upload the photos that matter
    most, from childhood snapshots to wedding days to holidays with the grandkids. Build your life
    line with the milestones, adventures, and moments that made you who you are. Years from now,
    a grandchild you’ve never met can sit beneath your tree, pull up your page, and get to know you.
    The GPS coordinates mean no one ever has to wonder where to go. They can find your tree, and
    your story, whenever they choose to visit.

  • A Setting Worth Visiting
    Sunset Sanctuary is a place of peace. Our grounds cover more than 100 acres of open
    meadows, quiet forest, and a tranquil pond, all teeming with wildlife and vegetation. It’s a living
    landscape that changes with the seasons and invites you to slow down.

    More than 1.5 miles of trails wind through the property. Walk the pond, wander through the
    meadows, and take in the sounds of the forest. When you’re ready for a break, pack a lunch and
    enjoy a picnic near your legacy tree. It’s a place where visiting feels less like a somber obligation
    and more like time well spent with someone you love.

  • Why Preplanning Matters
    Preplanning is one of the kindest things you can do for your family. Here’s what it gives you:
  • It locks in your legacy tree. You choose it now, so it’s secured for you.
  • It settles your final resting place. You’ll know where it will be, and so will your family. No
    guessing, no difficult decisions made in a hurry.
  • It lets you tell your own story. You can choose the pictures and shape the life line yourself,
    rather than leaving loved ones to piece it together during a hard time.
  • It protects your family from stress. When someone passes, families are often forced to
    make major decisions quickly and emotionally. Preplanning removes that burden. Everything
    is already taken care of, and the price is already paid.
    At $2,995, preplanning also gives you peace of mind about cost. You’re not leaving your family
    with an unexpected bill, just a beautiful place to remember you.

  • Make It Easy on Your Loved Ones
    Nobody enjoys thinking about end-of-life planning, but it’s an act of love. When you preplan, you
    give your family clarity at the moment they need it most. Instead of asking “What would they have
    wanted?”, they’ll already know. Your wishes are documented, your tree is waiting, and your story
    is ready to be shared.

  • Come See Sunset Sanctuary
