December 2026 Events

Holiday Service of Remembrance

We recognize that this time of year is difficult with a flood of memories and feeling of loss that comes when a loved one is not with you for the holidays. Each year we are honored to offer the community an event that is dedicated to the memory of those who have passed. You are welcome to come to the event, hang an ornament on our holiday trees.

If you are unable to attend in person, we invite you to send your loved one’s name so that we can light a candle in their memory. You may submit your loved one’s name to katie@riverviewcemetery.org, no later than December 1st.
