A very special Memorial Angel Tree will be on display at RONA Weyburn, which is in collaboration with the Family Place’s Festival of Trees. Fletcher’s Funeral Chapel and Cremation Services sponsor the Memorial Angel Tree.
“Fletcher’s Funeral Chapel and Cremation Services is very honored to be part of the Festival of Trees and supporting the Family Place. All proceeds raised from the Memorial Angel Tree are donated back to the Family Place and the community,” said Tamara Seghers, funeral director and manager of Fletcher’s Funeral Chapel.
The Memorial Angel Tree has been part of the Festival of Trees for at least 15 of the 20 years of the program. The Memorial Angel Tree will be displayed at RONA Weyburn. Residents are reminded that due to COVID-19 protocols, that they must wear a mask inside the store.
Residents are able to purchase an angel for the Memorial Angel Tree for $5. The angel will be placed on the tree, and kept with the tree until a virtual Christmas Service of Remembrance.
Family Place staff will be on site to accept angel purchases, working from 9 a.m. to midnight on Thursday, Nov. 19; 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 20 and 21; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 22; and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. from Monday to Wednesday, Nov. 23 to 25.
The Christmas Service of Remembrance can be viewed on Fletcher Funeral Chapel’s Facebook page on Thursday, Dec. 3 at 11 a.m. It is recommended that residents log into the Facebook only five minutes prior to the start time. For those who are unable to view the service at the actual time, it will remain available on Facebook indefinitely. The remembrance will include music, a short service and power point presentation of photos of loved ones.
Normally, people pick up their angels the night of the service, however this year since the service will be held virtually, and the angels will be delivered.
If the resident lives in town, the angel will be placed in their mailbox by Fletcher’s staff. If the resident lives out of town, the angel will be mailed out. Residents can display their angels in their own home.
