After the loss of a loved one, the holiday season can be touched with a bittersweet sadness. How do you handle the various celebrations and events? How do you include the person you have lost in your celebration?
At Oliver’s, we have two programs to support grieving families during the Christmas season.
Our Christmas Candlelight Service is a time for us to remember together those we have lost and honour them during the Christmas season.
Surviving The Holidays While Grieving is a helpful, encouraging, seminar for people facing the holidays after a loved one’s death.
Christmas Candlelight Service
Sunday, December 4, 2022, at 6:00 pm, at Oliver’s Funeral Home.
The lighting of candles and singing of carols has long been a powerful symbol of remembrance. Each year, Oliver’s Funeral Home hosts a Christmas Candlelight service to remember those we have lost and honour their memory.
This service will include:
- A memorial tribute video
- Lighting of candles for those we have lost
- Special music numbers
- A message of hope
We hope that this simple, time-honoured gesture may provide a way of healing the past and bringing music back into your hearts. After the program, please join us for a time of fellowship and refreshments served in our Tea Room.
Please register by November 28, 2022.
