Harrison Funerals at Linton Cemetery.

TREES PLANTED

Harrison Funerals ‘strive to ensure that every family’s funeral experience is a positive one and through (their) care and service (they) are able to ease some of the grief and assist the healing process’. With the assistance of Fifteen Trees, Harrison Funerals plant one mature tree on the behalf of every family who use their service.

  Harrison Funerals Hi_Res_RGB   Recently, 15 mature trees were planted at Linton Cemetery due to the generosity of this caring couple. At Linton Cemetery, the committee are continually trying to beautify the cemetery landscape with new trees and to ensure trees are replenished as needed.

On Saturday the 5th of October we held our tree planting working bee where nine diligent community members helped to dig the holes, plant, guard and water our fantastic 15 trees. Everyone on the Trust committee is over the moon regarding your program. And a special thank you to Brian and Maree Harrison who has been giving out trees to community groups like ours for the past 9 years. It is people like the Harrisons that make our work that much more enjoyable.   Chris Grigg | Trust Member | Linton Cemetery

David Cook-Doulton and Martin Shew always thought regional towns of Ballarat and Bendigo had a world-class feel. They could see it in the wide streets, the grand buildings and beautiful botanical gardens. And so two world-class hotels were created – Hotel Vera (Ballarat) and Hotel Ernest (Bendigo). Both hotels link luxury with environmental awareness as part of ‘true luxury, founded upon environmental integrity’.
