Crater Community Hospice Memorial Garden

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.

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.

Friends and family members can be honored with a commemorative brick placed in the Memorial Garden with a contribution of $125 or $250. 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.

“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.”

If you prefer to print and mail your order, download and print a Commemorative Brick Registration Form (PDF). Imprint message and mailing instructions are included.
