Phaneuf helps memorialize the unborn with garden at St. Joseph's Cemetery |
Together with Catholic Medical Center, Manchester Memorial Company and St. Joseph Cemetery in Bedford, Phaneuf helped create a final resting place for the unborn. On Friday, October 2nd the Feast of the Guardian Angles program included a dedication ceremony of a memory garden at the cemetery where hundreds of cremated unborn babies were memorialized. The event included remarks by John Kelly, the Director of St. Joseph Cemetery, Fr. Joseph Cooper, Pastor at St. Joseph Cathedral, Alyson Pitman Giles, President and CEO of Catholic Medical Center and Joanne Levesque from Phaneuf Funeral Homes & Crematorium.
"We have donated cremation services for approximately 500 unborns in the last five or so years," said Director Buddy Phaneuf. "This memorial garden will give families a place to mourn and reflect and even provide some support for one another." |

Creating online memorials for families served in the past |
Did you know that you could create an online obituary and a even a full Tribute page on www.phaneuf.net even if the service wasn't available when your family was served by Phaneuf? "We began offering obituarties on our website in 2000," said Buddy Phaneuf. "But even families served before that can take advantage of this service."
Contact Phaneuf today to begin the process. They will provide a complimentary simple listing that you can then customize. You will even have an option to upgrade to a full tribute page.
For more information or to get started, contact Phaneuf at info@phaneuf.net or call 603.625.5777. |
