Bethesda Hospice Care invites you to our Annual Memorial Ceremony, followed by interactive stations designed to honor your loved one and support your healing. Stations will include:

  • Memory Wall where you can write a favorite quote from your loved one
  • Self-Care Station where you can make a calming lavender sachet
  • Coloring Station for kids and adults
  • Blessing Station and Veterans Table where you can light a candle or place a flag in memory of your loved one
  • Creative Station where you can explore journaling and memorial art, and more!

We will also continue our beloved tradition of having our loved ones’ names read aloud during the Memorial Ceremony, wearing ribbons in their honor, and creating our beautiful Memorial Ribbon Wreath together.

As always, the Annual Memorial is free and open to the community. We hope you’ll join us at this reverent and joyful event, where we will celebrate the lives of our loved ones, and move toward peace and healing.
