The Bernardo family cordially invites you and your loved ones to join us in honoring the memory of those who have passed away over the past two years, or have created an ornament to honor somone on our website. 

Each year, we are called upon to assist families during their most challenging times. We consider it our duty not only to guide you through the funeral process but also to offer support as you navigate the path toward healing. 

Our Annual Memorial Christmas Tree dedication offers a space to pay tribute to our community collectively.  This event, in collaboration with the Town of Cumberland, unites families to commemorate the memory of those in our community who are no longer with us. This year’s memorial tree honors those who have passed from Oct. 1, 2024 to present. 

If you would like to include an ornament for another member of your family who has passed away, you can create an ornament online in their memory at our family service tent at the event.
