Rain or shine, Haven of Rest’s Memorial Day event will continue as planned. While this year’s weather may have us gathering inside the building, one thing will never change — our commitment to honoring the brave men and women who gave everything for the freedoms we enjoy today.

The rain may move us indoors, but it won’t dampen the spirit of remembrance, gratitude, and community. We’ll still have the BBQ going outside and plenty of good food waiting inside.

If you were planning on joining us, please don’t change those plans because of the weather. After all, the Pacific Northwest is well known for its rain, and a little drizzle has never stopped us from coming together for something that truly matters.

We look forward to sharing this meaningful day with you as we remember, honor, and give thanks.

Haven of Rest is proud to offer an environmentally friendly 🌎method of final disposition that is available for our loved ones. The scientific name for this💧water-based process is alkaline hydrolysis. It is the same process that occurs as part of nature’s course when a body is laid to rest in the soil. A combination of gentle water flow, temperature, and alkalinity are used to accelerate the breakdown of organic materials.

Best of all, aquamation does not preclude a family from any type of funeral or memorial service. A traditional viewing and funeral service can still take place, only instead of burial at a graveside service, the remains would then be taken to the facility where aquamation will take place.

Ask our Funeral Directors or Pre-Arrangement Counselors for more information today!
