Memorial tree/shrub recommendations

Very upset to find out that our baby has died (week 12 of pregnancy). I will be having a natural miscarriage if possible.

We would like to bury them in a large potted plant in our garden (so that we can take the pot with us if we move).

I'm looking for recommendations for a small tree/plant/shrub that:

  • Is hardy
  • Has a long lifespan
  • Can survive UK winters
  • Will do well in a big pot

My husband and I like flowering trees and fruit trees (but are worried about the hardiness of fruit trees).

We have a South-West facing garden so there are spots with full sun and other more shady parts.

We have recently bought after renting flats for years so we aren't experienced gardeners, and our garden is currently a blank canvas.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations
