The Trustees of Merrickville Union Cemetery invite everyone in the community to join them for the Annual Service of Celebration and Remembrance.
The service, re-established last year after being put in disarray by the COVID 19 Pandemic, will be held outdoors on the Cemetery grounds, Sunday September 21 at 2:00 pm.
Those planning to attend are asked to bring a lawn chair, water bottle and hat as the Trustees are hoping for a sunny day!
This is an ecumenical service in celebration of those family members who have gone before and provides an opportunity for peaceful reflection. The service will last approximately one hour.
For those new to the area or travelling from afar to be with relatives, the Cemetery is located on County Road 23, just east of the village of Merrickville. Please, park in the designated areas or along the roadway since there are several graves not yet marked.
In the event of inclement weather, the service will be held at Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Merrickville. Should this be the unfortunate case, a sign and directions will be placed at the Cemetery entrance.
Come join us for prayer, reflection and music and have a wander through the beautiful grounds.
If you are unable to attend but have questions, comments, would like to donate to the cemetery or want to be kept up to date on the activities of the Cemetery, please send an email to: merrickvilleunioncemetery@gmail.com
