We are inviting people to decorate the tree with special silver star decorations available at our funeral home – each carrying the names of those dearly departed. This is open to the entire community and free of charge.
“We’d like to support the whole community and everyone who may be dealing with grief,” explained EF Edwards Funeral Manager, Lisa Hodge. “The stars on the tree can help people, especially at this time of year, remember their loved ones and do something a bit more proactive. It can give people who are grieving something to focus on.”
