Celebrate a Life
This year's Celebrate a Life event will run from December 5th to December 17th. Held annually in December, Celebrate a Life is a time to honour and give symbolic expression to your feelings and thoughts about your loved one who is no longer here. Participating in Celebrate a Life may help you feel less alone at this time of year. By illuminating a light on the Celebrate a Life Tree, you honour the life of your loved one as well as honouring yourself. You remember the love and the experiences you shared. The light that you have turned on will only burn for a short time; it is a symbol of the love you always carry in your heart. Contact us for details.

Rainbow Remembrance
Held annually during Hospice Month – May. Remembering loved ones who are no longer present. Celebrate the life of your loved one by a butterfly to the Rainbow of Remembrance.

One of the most important ways we can assist those in need in our community is to simply share our knowledge about issues surrounding death and bereavement. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
