Eternal Care helps remember

| Before Eternal Care ... | ... and after |
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.
