Comox Valley Community Deathcare

👏👏👏💗

I am pleased to announce that Dynamic Journey has donated the “Wind Phone” to the Courtenay Civic Cemetery. This meaningful installation offers a unique opportunity for individuals to connect with their loved ones who have passed, fostering healing and remembrance within our community. The cemetery is currently updating the grounds to incorporate the Wind Phone, ensuring it is a fitting and serene space for reflection.

The grand opening is tentatively scheduled for November, marking a significant step in our commitment to supporting those navigating grief and loss. We believe this initiative will provide solace to many and reinforce the importance of community in the journey of healing.

Thank you for your continued support as we work together to make a positive impact. 🙏🏻

We are truly blessed to be part of a Comox Valley community that prioritizes support and compassion, nurturing an environment where everyone navigating end-of-life experiences feels understood and cared for.

Together, we are committed to strengthening our collaborative efforts, ensuring that everyone receives the compassionate guidance and support they truly deserve.
