Memorial Garden
![]()
Since 2005, the Hospice of Orleans Memorial Garden has expanded and continues to flourish, thanks to an army of gardening volunteers. From Spring until Fall, they can be found planting, weeding, and pruning to create a very special place of beauty.
The vision of staff was to provide "A tranquil place where one can peacefully stroll among the flowers and foliage or sit amidst the natural beauty of the outdoors."
Any person wishing to memorialize or honor a loved one through this garden is welcome to do so with the purchase of a memorial brick, or by donating a planting or endowment gift.
Please note that you do not have to have utilized Hospice services to enjoy this special space. This serene space is intended for use, not only by families who have been served by Hospice, but by the community at large to enjoy and reflect within.

Hospice provides a solid weather-proof granite stone complete with engraving to memorialize your loved one for donations of $75 or $150, depending on the stone size.
