A friend of mine lost his father last week. My girl-friend and I
wanted to give his family the gift of a tree that would help to remind
him of his father. Is there a tree that is used as a memorial, or used

to ease loss or grieving?

You might get a better response etc if you include the following

Height (max)
Width (max)
Site conditions (warm, dry climate - already staed) e.g. is it exposed, windy...
Aftercare e.g. will anyone maintain the tree
Aspect e.g. sun, semi

For the UK I'd suggest something like

Prunus serrula
Acer palmatum ‘Bloodgood’
Acer platanoides Crimson Sentry

Good with you search
