08 May RESCHEDULED! Annual Memorial Planting Service

DUE TO RAIN, THE MEMORIAL SERVICE HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED to Tuesday, June 2 at 5pm. However, due to rain forecast on Tuesday, we encourage you to contact our office AFTER 2PM ON TUESDAY, to see of the event will happen.

Brattleboro Area Hospice will host its 18th Annual Memorial Planting Service on Tuesday, June 2 at 5pm. The event will take place at the Hospice Memorial Garden located at Living Memorial Park on Guilford Street in Brattleboro. The public is encouraged to attend.

The community is invited to join together to honor and remember loved ones who have died.  Activities will include planting flowers, painting memorial messages on stones to be placed in the garden, and listening to the music of the Hallowell Singers.

Individuals are encouraged to bring friends and loved ones with them. This activity is informal and we recommend that participants wear casual clothing and footwear. Children are encouraged to attend as this service can be an especially meaningful experience for them, but they should be accompanied by a responsible adult. Tools, plants and supplies for making memorial stones will be provided. Limited seating will be made available for those who need it.

A reading of names honoring those who died in the previous year will take place. For questions about the service please contact Connie Baxter, Brattleboro Area Hospice Bereavement Coordinator at (802) 257-0775 ext. 104 or email connie.baxter@brattleborohospice.org.
