Tree of Life Remembrance Ceremony
December 3rd, 2017
4:00 – 6:00pm
Location: Beechwood Cemetery

The Tree of Life Remembrance Ceremony is an annual event held by Bereaved Families of Ontario – Ottawa Region to help us honor and remember our loved ones who have died, as we enter the holiday season. For over 20 years Bereaved Families of Ontario – Ottawa has held this event as a touching and visible way to cherish and remember our loved ones who have passed.

During the event, speakers tell personal stories of grief and healing. This is followed by a candle lighting remembrance ceremony. You will have the opportunity to hang a Memory Ornament that you personalize, to your loved one(s) on the Tree of Life, and take home at the end of the evening.

This year, our special guest is Ottawa City Councillor Allan Hubley. He will be sharing his personal story of grief, healing and hope following the death of his son, Jamie.

Musical accompaniment by guest pianist, Scott Voelzing.

Refreshments to follow.
