commemorative bricks in the memorial garden

Crater Community Hospice Memorial Garden

We are very pleased to announce a celebration of our fifteenth anniversary on Wednesday, September 15 at 4:30-7p.m., with the dedication of the Crater Community Hospice Memorial Garden, and Anniversary Reception. We are inviting supporters, volunteers, staff and families served by Crater Community Hospice over our fifteen year history to be a part of our celebration and hope you will be able to attend.

As part of this anniversary event, we ask you to continue supporting the vital service we provide in your community and also honor someone special in your life by purchasing a personalized engraved brick to be placed in our walkway in the Crater Community Hospice Memorial Garden. Your brick can be inscribed with names of your loves ones or thoughts of your choice. A commemorative brick is a way to say "thank you", "congratulations", or "I'll never forget your kindess" and will be most appreciated.

Order your brick by August 5 and you will be able to see it at the Memorial Garden dedication. RSVP for the Anniversary Reception can be made at (804) 526-4300.

The Crater Community Hospice Memorial Garden serves as a community resource for families and friends to memorialize their loved ones as well as to beautify the community with a lovely area of colorful shrubs, perennials, pathways and benches bordered by bricks inscribed with messages and names of loved ones.

“Despite limitations for a spacious garden, we want our garden to be a very pleasant, important statement of commitment to this community, said Brenda Mitchell, Chief Executive Officer for Crater Community Hospice, “we feel very strongly that we want to be visible in the community. Many of the area civic organizations and churches have supported us over the years and may wish to be a part of the garden. We envision a lovely space where families have a special area for remembrance celebrations.”

Friends and family members can be honored with a commemorative brick placed in the Memorial Garden with a contribution of $125. Bricks can be imprinted with names, dates or special messages. If ordering more than one brick and you would like the bricks to be placed next to each other, orders must be placed at the same time with special instructions included. Every effort will be made to accommodate the request.
