DETAILS

Join us for Butterfly Blessings, a meaningful gathering where families, friends, and community members are invited to come together in remembrance of loved ones who have passed. Whether your loss is recent or many years past, all are welcome. Held in a peaceful outdoor setting, our team will guide you through a heartfelt program designed to bring comfort and connection as we celebrate those we hold dear. To close out the event, the symbolic release of butterflies into the surrounding vineyard and flowers will represent transformation, hope, and the enduring beauty of memory. There is no cost to attend, though registration is encouraged; butterflies may be reserved in advance for $10 each. Some seating will be provided; please feel free to bring lawn chairs and blankets for your comfort. All proceeds from butterfly releases help fund CareFirstNY’s grief support services and community programs, which rely on the generosity of our community to continue supporting local individuals and families through grief and loss. Questions?
