Annual Memorial Events

Memorial Services

Each December, this memorial service brings light and warmth to the winter season. During this time of gathering we remember our loved ones with music, readings, reflections and a candle-lighting ritual that highlights the importance of light in six major faith traditions.  We also provide the opportunity for you light a candle for your loved one as we collectively honor their life.

Afternoon of Remembrance

Pathways and Skylawn offer a shared experience of readings, reflections and music.

Together, we will create an exceptional collective bouquet of flowers. We will have flowers available or feel free to bring a flower in honor of your loved one to place in the arrangement. Each flower in the bouquet will represent your loved one and remind us of the beauty and love they brought to our lives. 

A memorial table will be available for you to display a picture or object to honor your loved one, remembering them, during this service as you say their names and add your flower to the bouquet.

As an option, please email Pathways the name of your loved one and their photograph. We will display their name and photograph on the Memorial Table.

If you have questions please call Thomas May (408-773-4329) or Linda Woodsmall (408-773-4319), or email us at: [email protected] 

Preparing for the Holidays, we will be making many decisions about how to move forward. We encourage you to take care of yourself during one of the most difficult times of the year for someone who is grieving.
