Holiday
Service of Remembrance
Every year since 1995, our funeral
home has sponsored a Holiday Service of Remembrance.It
usually takes place the first week of December
at Olympia Hall in East Pittsburgh. Each family
that we have served is invited to attend this
evening of support that features a religious
service by a local clergy. Our Bereavement
Counselor, Dr. Barbara Coyne, gives a presentation
entitled “Grief and the Holidays”. Appropriate
Christmas music is played and a personalized
Ornament is presented to each family. The
general public is also welcome and invited
to attend.
Widow Valentine’s Day Luncheon
Holidays, birthdays, anniversaries and
other family times can be difficult times
to celebrate when one is a recent surviving
spouse. Another day that most family members
and supporters don’t realize can be terribly
difficult is Valentine’s Day.It is not a day
that is easy to celebrate.
For this reason, we invite to a luncheon,
all of the women that we have served that
have become surviving spouses in the previous
12 months. The luncheon provides some socializing
on a day that could have been special in the
past as we honor them and offer thanks.
Widowers Luncheon
As with the recently widowed, we also
have a luncheon for men who have become surviving
spouses. Typically, it is held during the
early spring or early fall on the deck at
Grand View Golf Club. This luncheon is also
an outreach program to provide socializing
and support to these men.It also provides
us an opportunity to honor them and give thanks.
