Yes... I like it that each tree has been planted by a member of the family or close friend all those years ago... these big trees are filled with wildlife too... wonderful living monuments....

This is a superb idea.
We have similar places in the UK.

I have been to Kings park and it is very moving. Here in Victoria we have the Avenue of Honour at ballarat which goes for nearly 20 kms and each tree is named, a[parently it is the longest of its type in the world. There are a lot of these type of memorials here in Oz. A lot of country towns have them. The Freeway to Canberra is called the "rememberance highway" and all the rest stops along the way are named for VC winners and have a notice at them giving the story of each VC holder.
