Tree Planting Ceremony
Since Hospice of Light began in 1994, a tree has been planted every year to honor the memory of past patients. This tradition happens each November, which is recognized as National Hospice month, to ensure that their families and friends know they will never be forgotten.
Hospice of Light’s Annual Tree Planting Ceremony
Each November, Hospice of Light honors the memory of those we have loved and served. We invite friends and family of the deceased, as well as the general public, to participate in a tree planting ceremony at Singing River Gulfport Hospital and Pascagoula Hospital. This event welcomes our entire community. It does not matter how long ago the loss occurred or even if the person you would like to honor wasn’t our patient.
We will have two beautiful events this year. Families are encouraged to bring a framed photo of their loved one(s) and to participate by embedding their loved ones’ names into the soil, symbolizing a lasting connection with the tree to be planted.
