The holidays can feel confusing for children who are grieving.

Simple rituals can help them feel connected, seen, and supported — whether it’s hanging a special ornament, sharing a story, or lighting a candle together.

Small gestures matter.

And little hearts need gentle spaces to remember. ❤️

If your family is navigating grief this season, you’re not alone.

⚠️ Important Notice for the Families We Serve

Sadly, scammers are targeting grieving families by pretending to be funeral home staff and requesting advance payments. Please remember: Garrett Funeral Home will never contact you this way.

If you ever receive a call, message, or email asking for payment, always reach out to us directly to verify. Your safety and peace of mind matter to us.

If you have questions or concerns, we’re here to help. 💛
