Annual Candlelight Remembrance Service
Dec 3, 2023 03:00 PM to Dec 3, 2023 04:00 PMFirst Sunday of December
Every year we hold an Annual Candlelight Remembrance Service to honor the families that we have served during the past year. The event includes an open house with refreshments following the event. Everyone who has experienced a death is welcome to attend. Some families come back year after year. We even extend the invitation to those who have lost loved ones, but used another funeral home.
We start the event on Thanksgiving weekend, by putting up a Christmas tree in the lobby and encourage families to come and place an ornament, that we provide, to personalize with their loved one's name. On the afternoon of the Candlelight Service, we have a local minister offering an encouraging message before lighting of the candles in rememberance of your loved one. The lights of the candles shine while everyone views a tribute video higlighting the loved ones of the families we have assited this last year. Our staff, along with our family, enjoys this time very much, as we want to encourage those that are still strugging with their loss. We want them to know that they are not alone. We care very deeply and appreciate the priviledge to have served them.
