Celebrating Life, Honoring Love ❤️
Celebrando la Vida, Honrando el Amor

Some people leave this world, but the love, memories, and lessons they leave behind stay with us forever.
Kinchin Funeral Home, alongside Eric Singleton, Daniela Bermea, and Paije Hall, would like to invite you and your family to a special Community Celebration of Life!
We're bringing our community together for an afternoon of music, food, family activities, cultural traditions, and beautiful ways to remember those who are no longer physically with us.
We want this to be a day filled with smiles, laughter, stories, love, and togetherness.

What can you bring?
A photograph of someone you love and miss.
A letter or message you'd like to write to them.
A favorite memory or story to share.
A flower or small meaningful item that reminds you of them.
Everything is optional! You are welcome to simply come and enjoy the day with us.
What can you expect?
DJ, music, and food
Activities for children and families
Memory walls and remembrance stations
Face Painting
A special Día de los Muertos-inspired cultural area
Community resources and grief support
A celebration welcoming all cultures and generations

Whether you lost someone recently or many years ago, this day is for you.
Different cultures. One community. The same love.
We hope you'll join us! Please share this with a family or friend who might enjoy being part of something meaningful.
