We Remember

You and your loved ones are important to us. We especially remember those who have died, and keep them and you in our daily prayers.

We offer several helpful resources and services that can provide comfort and connection in your time of loss.

• Annual Memorial Service: Held once a year in November on a Sunday afternoon in the Interfaith Chapel, this inclusive service invites those who have had a loved one die at Upstate in the previous year to come together to remember, pray, discover meaning and find fellowship.
• Annual Pediatric Memorial Service: Sponsored by the Bereavement Committee of the Golisano Children's Hospital, this service will be held in Spring 2012. Stay tuned for more information.
• Set up a special remembrance website at 1000memories without charge, and share the life of your loved one. 1000memories is a wonderful way to organize, share and discover the old photos and memories of your family and friends by creating an online, shareable space where they can be remembered and celebrated.
• Mass Cards: Mass cards are available for a nominal fee that support spiritual care needs. Please download our mass card , and send your check and mass intention.
