The Candlelight Memorial Service and Memory Tree ceremony is held each year during the holiday season. The indoor portion of the service is held in the funeral home chapel where a local minister offers words of encouragement based on the promises of faith. The service is also uplifted by local singers and musicians. Afterward, the service moves onto the front lawn of the Bereavement Center where the families participate in singing Christmas hymns, and are offered the opportunity to place an ornament with the name of their loved one on the Memory Tree. At the end of the service, the Memory Tree is lit in honor of those who are dearly loved and missed. This service is not only for families that Caldwell and Cowan has lovingly served, but for any family in the community who wishes to honor their loved ones in a special, symbolic memorial.
