1....does anyone know where to go about doing this?
2,,,,roughly how much it would cost? thanks

The cost might vary greatly, depending upon where the tree is to be located. In a small village, for example, the local parish council might be sympathetic to a 'd-i-y' approach, whereby you purchase your own tree (and the guards, stake and ties to go with it) and plant it in a spot of the council's choosing. (A plaque could be obtained from a good quality trophy shop, or similar).
So a sapling planted on parkland, or on the edge of common land, might cost you no more than £100. (Perhaps a tenner for the sapling, the same again for the the stake & guard, £30 quid for a nice plaque and a £50 donation to the council).
However putting a tree in a dedicated memorial forest could be far more expensive. 'Life for a Life' is a registered charity which manages such forests. Their services don't come cheap. The minimum donation to have a tree planted is £495, plus a minimum of £75 for a plaque:
