DETAILS

Join us for Butterfly Blessings, a meaningful gathering where families, friends, and community members can come together in remembrance of loved ones who have passed. 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 our memorial garden will represent transformation, hope, and the enduring beauty of life. There is no cost to attend; butterflies may be purchased for $10 each. As part of this year’s service, a pictorial memorial slideshow will be displayed. We will provide you the opportunity to submit one good-quality photograph of your loved one to be included in this special tribute. Please follow the link included in your registration confirmation email to submit your photo and details. Some seating will be provided; please feel free to bring lawn chairs and blankets for your comfort. Questions?
