Footprints Project
Together, we can have open conversations about life and death, and assist others through their grief, bereavement and mourning.One program in particular helps to leave a legacy gift for our clients loved ones once they have died. This program is the Footprints Project.

These legacy activities provide individuals and families a space to reflect on special moments, memories, and events that have had an impact on their lives. Legacy activities can also act as gifts to loved ones. Read more...

These services may include (but are not limited to) companionship, caregiver relief, simple comfort measures – playing music, painting and creating art, or other soothing activities
