We were deeply honored to participate in the annual Service of Remembrance last night. Our sincere appreciation extends to everyone who played a role in making this event a success, including Axelson Funeral Home, fellow hospices, refreshment donors, and the exceptional volunteers who helped create a meaningful night of community, hope, healing, and love.

The tree has been moved to the courthouse for the holiday season, serving as a poignant reminder of those who are no longer with us, yet remain present in our hearts and memories. We take comfort in knowing they are free from pain, even as we acknowledge the lingering presence of grief. As we cherish memories of our loved ones, we offer prayers for peace and comfort to those who are missing someone special during this holiday season. 💜

Axelson’s will have the Live stream of this event if you were unable to attend to watch on their page. Axelson Funeral & Cremation Services
