Tree Lighting Ceremony

Dear Families,

We are pleased to announce our 26th Annual Memorial Service & Tree Lighting Ceremony on Monday, December 1st and Tuesday, December 2nd, 2025.

This year, we will once again be offering our service in person, as well as livestreaming and recording. Whether you can attend in person or from the comfort of your own home, we will be able to remember together those special people in our lives who are no longer with us.

Please note: The service will be livestreamed on Monday, December 1st, 2025 ONLY. The service will be recorded Monday evening and will be available for viewing the following day on our website, where it will remain viewable for the year following.

As has been our tradition, we ask that you bring to the funeral home a personalized, small, non-breakable ornament (we will not be liable if the ornament breaks and will replace it with an ornament of our choosing) for your loved one to be placed upon the trees.

The trees will be lit with the ornaments adorned on them, as a gentle reminder of those who have touched us in a special way. It is in these memories that we find warmth, comfort, and a sense of hope during these trying times. We store all ornaments for years to come to honor and remember them.

Please bring new ornaments to the funeral home office by Tuesday, November 25th, 2025, with a completed registration form (download below).

Please note: The service will be livestreamed on Monday, December 1st only.

The service will be recorded Monday evening and will be available for viewing the following day on our website, where it will remain viewable for the year following.
