A meaningful and informative community afternoon

We know that conversations about end-of-life planning can feel daunting — but having them early brings real peace of mind to families and loved ones. That’s why we’re opening our doors to the whole community for this relaxed and welcoming support session.

Join us to hear from local professionals who deal with these important matters every day. Ask the questions you’ve always had, in a safe and supportive space.

“A chance to ask anything you ever wanted to know about planning a funeral — no question is too big or too small.”
