Milestone Tree Lighting

As we approach the holiday season, we at Burgess Hospice want to extend our thoughts to you and your family. We understand that this time of year can be very emotional after the passing of your loved one, and we realize the deep sense of loss you may be feeling as you remember so many cherished memories.

We invite you to attend our Annual Milestone Tree Ceremony on Wednesday, December 3rd, at 6:00 p.m., in the Burgess Cafeteria. During this time, we light our tree in memory of our loved ones who continue to shine in our hearts. Our ceremony will be a time of togetherness with those who have been in similar circumstances, while we reflect on your loved one’s memory through readings, music, and a time of remembrance.

We want to give you and your family the opportunity to purchase an ornament that includes your loved one’s name to be hung on the tree that night. Your loved one’s name will be announced, and you will have an opportunity to place the ornament on the tree, if you choose. The cost of the ornament will be donated to the Burgess Foundation for ongoing services and bereavement support provided by Burgess Hospice.

Please accept our continued sympathy and support for your family. We hope you can join us for this evening of remembrance during the holiday season.

To purchase an ornament, please fill out this Milestone Tree Form and return it to Rachel Martian at Burgess Hospice. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 712.423.9265.

Following the lighting, complimentary refreshments will be available to all attendees.
