Tree of Remembrance Memorial Service Dec. 2 sponsored by Chiles-Laman
“The holidays can be a particularly difficult time to cope with the loss of a loved one and the Tree of Remembrance Memorial Service provides a forum where families can come together to express their grief, but also find peace for years to come,” said Gordon Diller of Chiles-Laman Funeral Home and Cremation Services.
On Sunday Dec. 2, at the Centre at Bluffton, 601 N. Main St., Bluffton; Chiles-Laman Funeral & Cremation Services will be holding a Tree of Remembrance Memorial Service for those who have lost a loved one this year or in years past.
All families in attendance will receive a free “Guardian Angel” glass ornament personalized with the name and dates of their loved one that will be placed on the Christmas Tree for the service and then will be yours to keep and hang on your Christmas tree or otherwise display in commemoration of your loved one.
Families may begin arriving at 3 p.m. with a brief memorial service at 4 p.m., conducted by Sister Carol Inkrott, of St. Mary’s Catholic Church. At the conclusion of the service, the ornament is yours to take home. Additional ornaments will be available for purchase at the cost of $20.
