Divide & Plant Sale:
A success, raising more than $2400 to support the Northumberland United Way Annual Campaign.
Infant Memory Boxes:
Nothing can take away the pain of the death of a baby, but a memory box recognizes the importance and significance of the loss of the baby and offers support for the grieving families.
Hospice is proud to introduce a new program to the Northumberland community. Memory Boxes will be offered to the hospitals and funeral homes in the area to support families experiencing a miscarriage, stillbirth or neonatal death.
Included in the boxes are items such as nighties, sweaters, blankets, hats and booties, hand sewn and knitted by volunteers, a journal, tiny box for a locket of hair, and a bracelet.
Memorial Service:
Hospice is pleased to announce its annual Memorial Service. This non-denominational service provides family members, caregivers and friends with an opportunity to remember, reflect and celebrate the lives of loved ones who have died.
The service includes a reading of names as well as a candle-lighting ceremony. Anyone wishing to have a candle in memory of a particular individual, and/or their name read, is asked to call the Cobourg office, at 905-373-8875, no later than November 19th.
The service will be held at the Columbus Community Centre in Cobourg, on Thursday evening, 7:00-9:00, on November 27th.
