The Impact of Adopting a Plot at Linden Grove
The Adopt-A-Plot program weaves together history, community, and the outdoors.
BY ADOPTING A PLOT YOU:
Support the cemetery
An Adopt-a-Plot purchase helps to fiscally support the cemetery. Your purchase is for the benefit of Historic Linden Grove Cemetery & Arboretum and is deductible for Federal Income Tax purposes.
Preserve and develop our history
Learning and sharing Adopt-a-Plot stories can help build and celebrate our rich local culture.
Connect multi-generations of our community
Engaging with Adopt-a-Spot can help us learn about our shared experiences and find connections between generations.
Spend time outside
Visiting your plot is a respectful way to honor someone’s life. It is also a way to actively enjoy our city’s green space and enjoy outdoor recreation.
HOW IT WORKS:
To Adopt-A-Plot, choose an individual from our directory, some shown below. Make it official with your $55 donation at checkout and you are now part of the preservation effort of both our cemetery and our local history!
You’ll then receive an emailed receipt, along with more information about how-to be an engaged member with the program.
When you share about Linden Grove and your adoptee, you are sharing history and the fact that there is a beautiful cemetery and arboretum right here in Covington, KY! Use the hashtag #LindenLives on your social media network of choice.
