\u201cEach year, families tell us how meaningful this service is as they navigate the holidays,\u201d said J<\/strong>ustin Calarco-Smith of H.E. Turner & Co.

A candle will be lit in memory of each loved one and will remain illuminated throughout the service. One candle will be provided for each individual being remembered.

There is no cost<\/strong> to participate, and all who have experienced loss are welcome\u2014regardless of which funeral home cared for their loved one. The service will also be available via live stream for those joining from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ecumenical service will include music, prayer, scripture, the reading of names, the tolling of the bell in remembrance, and a message of hope delivered by Reverend John Keller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
