Christmas Memorial Tree

What do you think about this idea:

This Christmas we were thinking about having a memorial tree at the funeral home. If we handled the funeral of your loved one and you would like to have a Christmas ball hung on the tree with your love ones name on it let us know through private message or email me at poweroffaith@eastlink.ca.And after Christmas you may pick up the ball so you can place on your own tree next Christmas. There will be no charge to have this done.
