We would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who supported this year's Dia de los Mu***os Celebration! The delicious treats, photos, funds, and most importantly time were greatly appreciated. It was so nice to be able to gather together to share stories and create new memories.

We wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season and are already looking forward to the next time we can all be together again.

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate Dia de Mu***os and also to those who sent in photos for the ofrenda! We are so grateful to have you all as a part of this special community.

Graves were adorned, pan de mu**to and Mexican hot chocolate were enjoyed, sugar skull cookies were decorated (and perhaps also eaten, you know, for quality control). Most importantly of all, we shared and celebrated the memories of our loved ones and connected as a community. As a bonus, we finally received a good amount of rain at the very end of the festivities to help water in the freshly scattered wildflower seeds. We are already looking forward to next year's celebration. Hope to see you there! 🌻

PS. Did you take photos? We would love to see them! Feel free to share them in the comments or you can always email them to us at [email protected]

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow at our Dia de los Mu***os Celebration from 10am-12pm!

The ofrenda will remain up through the weekend and all are welcome to add photos, mementos, flowers and other items that will help welcome back your departed loved ones. Please only leave items that you would not miss if they were to disappear to the spirit world, are not hazardous (no flames), and that are appropriate for all ages. Please save your delectable treats for your home celebration in order to protect the native wildlife.

Hard to believe, but it's that time of year again! A week from Sunday we will be hosting our annual Service of Remembrance led by the wonderful and talented Cantorial Soloist Sarah Avner from Congregation Beth Israel. There will also be a livestream of the service here on our page for those who are unable to attend in person. We hope you can make it!

Bountiful blooms and butterflies at the park this spring! Took a video to share with those who haven't been able to visit in person to see nature's show this year.

May you find comfort in the cardinal's song and the whispering wind.

Interesting article about Green Burial and other alternative funeral options.

"We have more sustainable choices for our bodies after death than just burial or cremation, and we have power to advocate for these options in our communities."
