The holidays can be a difficult time after the loss of a loved one and part of the process of moving through grief is celebrating a life. Willamette Valley Hospice celebrates the lives of those who were patients during the past year at the holiday memorial service.
The celebration is an opportunity not only for friends and family members, but for Willamette Valley Hospice staff to share in the remembering and celebrating of patients they have supported.
Memorial services include music, a reading of the names of those being honored, and an opportunity for survivors to honor their loved one in a special way.
|
The service will include readings and a candle-lighting in honor of the loved ones, an opportunity for sharing memories and an outside tree-lighting ceremony. This year, we are asking community members to bring photos of their loved ones to display in our photo montage as part of the service. Memorial ornaments will be available for purchase that day. A reception and light refreshments are part of the afternoon. |
These events will take place at Willamette Valley Hospice, 1015 3rd St NW, Salem |
The public is invited and there is no charge for the events nor registration required. |
