Did you know that in the 1800s, many communities in colder climates used “receiving vaults” in the winter?
The ground would freeze so deeply that graves couldn’t be dug, so loved ones were placed in secure stone vaults until spring. It was a common and respectful practice in cold regions across North America.

Why do we gather when someone we love passes away?

Because when everything else feels out of control, being together helps us breathe again. Sharing stories, tears, and even laughter brings a little order back to the chaos of loss.

It’s how we remind each other that we’re not alone. 💛
