All Souls Night At Mountain View Cemetery October 25 to November 1

24 Oct

You are invited to participate in All Souls Night which takes place at Mountain View Cemetery October 25 to November 1.   This event is curated by artist Paula Jardine and Marina Szijarto and was created to provide opportunities for the public to commemorate their dead with a family-oriented community art event. Artists and community members come together to create a sanctuary for remembrance and reflection. You are encouraged to bring a lantern and candles as well as photos to create a memorial for a loved one in a gentle atmosphere. The event takes place rain or shine so you are encouraged to dress for the weather. Live ambient music can be heard throughout most of the event.   We’ve set out a schedule of some of the events below. For more information, visit Night For All Souls.

The departed they visit us in dreams. They glide across
our memories like shadows over streams.
