My condolences to Byrns.
That program is BS if you ask me.

We have a tree somewhere in the valley along Deerfoot Tr. When it was planted, it was 12-inches high and included a thin piece of cedar with the same of the deceased written with a magic marker. The thing is, though, there were hundreds of trees planted in a one acre plot, so by now I'm sure 3/4 of them have been thinned out.

It's a marketing add-on that makes McInnis and Holloway look more attractive when you're paying outrageous funeral costs.

Anyway . . .

Great idea, Byrns! Sorry to hear about your grandmother.
