Supportive Care

Annual Memorial Ceremony

As a way of honouring the memory of those who have lived their life’s end at on  the Memory Lane Wing of Pioneer Lodge, and the families who supported them, we offered our 1st Annual Heartland Hospice Moose Jaw Memorial Ceremony. In the sanctuary of the outdoors, we gathered in the Heartland Hospice Serenity Garden at 1000 Albert St. West (Pioneer Lodge East Lawn) for the ‘Heartlights’ Memorial Ceremony on Thursday, July 28, 2022 at 7 pm.

This Memorial Ceremony offered an opportunity for the families to return to the hospice’s sacred grounds, and lift up the name and memory of their Beloved in the safety of those surroundings, with others who understood. The program involved the peace-filled music of the Moose Jaw Comfort Choir; readings by SHA (Saskatchewan Health Authority) workers and Heartland Hospice Board Members; and the Dedication of the Serenity Garden Gazebo (donated by the Eberts family in memory of Richard Eberts).  In the serenity of the garden families gathered and remembered with a deep sense of solidarity. We are so grateful to all who helped contribute to the meaningful evening it was.

“ We are Bearers of their Light.”
