Festival of Trees: Memorial Tree Lighting

You are invited to the Memorial Tree Lighting, a deeply meaningful event where the community gathers to remember those we love. The holidays often bring cherished memories of those who are no longer here, and the Memorial Tree offers a beautiful way for you to celebrate their lives, remember their legacies, and honor the love that continues to live on.

Every light placed on the tree represents a life remembered. By making a memorial donation, you can share a loved one’s name and an optional memorial message, which will be read aloud during the lighting ceremony. Your gift makes a profound difference, as Memorial Tree donations directly benefit Spirit Mountain Hospice House to help provide compassionate care, comfort, and support for individuals and families in the community.

Following the tree lighting, you are invited to enjoy hot chocolate, cookies, and commemorative ornaments generously provided by Ballard Funeral Home.
