A leaf on the tree, a name in our hearts, a life forever cherished.
Leaves of Life offers you a meaningful way to honour someone special - a beautiful tribute that keeps their memory alive. Saying goodbye to a family member or close friend is an emotional time. A memorial for loved ones, a place you can visit to feel near someone cherished, can help find comfort.
We have two special Leaves of Life trees - one is a public memorial at Southend Crematorium and our newest tree stands proud at the entrance to Fair Havens our adult's hospice.
Each dedicated leaf becomes part of something beautiful: a touching display that celebrates the lives of those we've loved and lost. Your dedication not only creates a lasting memorial but also helps Havens Hospices continue providing compassionate care to local Families when they need it most.
Handmade especially for Havens Hospices, this majestic three dimensional memorial tree stands as one of the first things to greet you as you arrive at Fair Havens. Its shimmering copper leaves celebrate the lives and memories of those we love, a tribute For our whole community to see.
Nestled in its own space outside the hospice, you can pause, reflect, and commemorate a loved one, surrounded by the same care and compassion that defines everything we do at Fair Havens.
Each handcrafted leaf bears your loved one's name- a beautiful reminder of someone special who will never be forgotten.
This tree is located at 226 Priory Crescent, Southend-on-Sea, SS2 6PR and can be accessed all year round.
