All HUMANS and PETS are welcome to this special celebration of life service as we gather in joyful appreciation for the wondrous, interdependent web of creation, and to celebrate the Blessing of the Animals. Well-mannered pets are invited to attend with their humans. Animals and humans wishing to receive a blessing will be blessed during the service. If your pet is unavailable, you may bring a photograph for blessing. There will be a special time in the service to remember pets who are no longer with us. Beloved stuffed animals are also invited.
