Celebration of Life
Quiet chamber music and poetry readings and other reflections are presented. The names of all those who have died – hospice patients for the year, and other names as provided by the public – are read slowly with great respect, and a chime is sounded after each name. Doves are released at the end of the service. Attendees then enjoy refreshments and talk story time.

A special service to honor loved ones who have died is held each year close to the Memorial Day Weekend at Keawalai Church in Makena. The quaint church’s peaceful grounds and the all-encompassing ocean nearby provide a splendid setting for this occasion.
