Annual Children's Remembrance Service

Published on 17 November 2021

Shoalhaven City Council will be holding a Children’s Remembrance Service on Wednesday, 8 December from 6.30pm. 

Parents whose children have died – no matter at what age or how long ago, their families and friends are invited to attend the ceremony at the Shoalhaven Memorial Gardens and Lawn Cemetery Chapel in Worrigee.  

A local Celebrant will lead a time of reflection in a shared space with the lighting of named candles, the Message Tree, and a light supper at Reflections Café afterwards.  

Shoalhaven City Council’s Bereavement Services Manager Pamela Green said that everyone is welcome to attend.  

“The Children's Remembrance Service offers the opportunity for parents, family and friends who have experienced the loss of a child, to share a time of reflection. For more than 20 years, we have held this Service to provide a time and space for those in our community who have experienced such a profound loss,” Ms Green said.  

To RSVP, please phone 02 4429 5788 by 5pm Monday 6 December 2021.
