DETAILS

Held in a peaceful outdoor setting, the ceremony will feature the symbolic release of native butterflies—each one representing a cherished life and the enduring love that remains. Through poetry, reflection, and shared remembrance, we honor the lives that have touched ours and celebrate their lasting impact on our hearts and community. This FREE event is open to all who wish to remember someone special in a supportive and healing environment. Whether you are honoring a recent loss or remembering someone from years past, Butterfly Blessings offers a gentle space for reflection, connection, and hope. There is no cost to attend the memorial service; butterflies may be reserved in advance for $10 each for those who would like to participate in the release. Please register by Friday, July 18.
