Dedicate a memorial tree for half price for Grandparents Day

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 25, 2009 -- Grandparents are a vital part of family life, providing strength, comfort, wisdom and fun and they deserve a special day in their honour.

It's clear at www.lastingtribute.co.uk - the UK's largest online memorial website - that memories of happy times with grandma and grandad last a lifetime.

Lasting Tribute’s managing director, Elaine Pritchard, said: “We see hundreds of grandchildren - some now adults - adding loving tributes and fond memories of their grandparents online.”

So, in honour of Grandparents Day (Sunday October 4) Lasting Tribute is offering anyone the chance to dedicate a tree to the memory of a grandparent, in partnership with The Tree Appeal, for just £9.99 - half the usual price of £19.99.

This offer applies to trees ordered between now and Monday October 12, 2009. To read more and order a tree click on the Grandparents Day image at www.lastingtributeshop.co.uk

You can choose the county in the UK where you would like your tree to be planted and you will receive a personalised dedication certificate. Full details are on the Lasting Tribute website.

There are more than 1.3 million tributes already on Lasting Tribute. They include more than 8,000 featured tributes to celebrities and those who have been in the public eye – including British soldiers who have died on duty in Afghanistan and Iraq. Anyone can register quickly on the site and add a memory or an image free of charge. All submitted content is pre-moderated before being published.

Many of the notices were originally published in Lasting Tribute’s partner newspapers around the UK and have now been adopted by family members who visit regularly to add their thoughts.

Here’s a few examples of messages for much-loved grandparents:

“Some of my fondest memories as a child are of Christmas with you and Grandpa. No-one's ever made a better Christmas dinner than you. Then in the evening you'd get out cold meats and pickles, cheese and biscuits and your wonderful homemade coffee and walnut cake and we'd eat while we watched Morecambe and Wise…. Love you lots xxxxx”

“When it gets to holiday time I always remember those childhood holidays with you and nana. This week I've been thinking a lot about some of those caravan holidays where we used to play cards in the evenings. Seemed the height of excitement to me, aged eight!! Still miss you after all these years xxxxxxxx”

“To Grandpa. We think of you often and miss you. We'll never forget you - and all that you stood for. We are very proud that you were our Grandpa.”
