Lantern release added to fireworks show at Calumet Park Cemetery over Memorial Weekend…
On Saturday evening, May 28 at dusk Calumet Park Cemetery will host its annual fireworks display, free to the community. This year, for the first 200 that request a lantern, Calumet Park will provide a lantern for a group release. This will happen just prior to the start of the fireworks. The idea of this release will be for people to write a thought or a feeling for a loved one that was left unspoken onto their lantern and release the mini “hot air balloon” towards the heavens. It is a symbolic way of communicating our love for those who have gone before us.
If you wish to be part of this beautiful ceremony, contact us at 219-736-5840 or stop in and see a family service person.
