Before
Eternal Care ... |

A group of North Idaho ladies, including Vicki
McNally of Bonners Ferry, saw a gap that needed
filling in cherished places in communities
throughout the region, and created Eternal Care
Services to fill that gap, tending to the graves
of those who've passed when those who love and
remember can't or are unable.
Too often, cemeteries grow untended and unkempt,
victims of limited budgets and caretakers, often
volunteers, who can do little but water and mow;
they haven't the time or resources to tend to
the individual grave.
Some might consider it neglect, or someone
forgotten, but often that's not the case at all.
People move on, those left behind grow old; the
forces of nature continue unabated. Growing.
Weathering. Covering the resting places of those
we remember.
In Boundary County, Bonner, Kootenai and
Shoshone Counties, Eternal Care Services will
lovingly tend those individual grave sites when
you can't be there or when you can no longer do
the tending yourself.
They will trim around the headstone, do light
cleaning on the headstone itself. Even place one
of their hand-made silk flower arrangements
should you want; in a vase, a dish or a saddle.
In many North Idaho cemeteries, Memorial Day
sees many volunteers; veteran's groups, Boy and
Girl Scouts; civic organizations, tending to the
graves of those who've fallen in service to our
nation, placing flags on the graves of veterans.
But the ranks of those who mark Memorial Day,
they too are growing thin.
They can't give individual attention to each
grave, nor can they remember all who did not
serve in the military. Not their wives,
husbands, sons or daughters.
They can't be there to remember other days of
importance; birthdays, anniversaries. Reunions
when families come together to celebrate the
present and remember the past.
Perhaps worst, the solitary visitor who comes
home after years away, seeking to remember, only
to find that their memory has aged or that no
one else has cared.
Eternal Care Service can help you remember, and
show that someone still cares.
