Living Tribute

In honor of those we serve, Hamilton's donates money to the The Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden.  There is a beautiful Living Tribute display at the Botanical Garden containing the names of those remembered, as well as a register book at each of Hamilton's Funeral Homes. Each spring on Arbor Day, Hamilton's, together with The Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden, holds a "Living Tribute Dedication" ceremony.  This brief dedication event is a chance for all to pause and reflect at this quiet place by the river. It is our hope that the continued development of the Botanical Garden will serve not only as a constant reminder of our community's rich and productive past, but more importantly, as a living tribute to your family's heritage.
