Locally owned Morgan’s Funeral and Lakeland Funeral Homes are offering families an opportunity to remember their ones as well as get support and help with the healing process of dealing with the grief as we head into the holiday season.
The funeral homes will host the 6th Annual Holiday Service of Remembrance Thursday evening at a local church. Co-owner Jenna Wainer of the funeral homes says this is the first time in two or three years they have been able to hold the Holiday Remembrance Service in person.
