Visitors strolling through the Hospice Memorial Garden can read the heartfelt tributes engraved in glass and stone to the loved ones of more than 100 community members who have supported Hospice with their gifts to the Garden. The quarter- mile Brian Gardam Tranquility Trail offers visitors further opportunities for self- guided reflection. We thank everyone who helped build this peaceful, lovely space.
The Memorial Garden is open to the public and is handicapped accessible. Please come for a stroll anytime you wish.
If you would like to create a memorial for your loved one(s) in the Garden, please download a Memorial Garden Order Form. For more information, please contact Kellie Hitchman at 315-265-3105.
