Park Memorial Events

Park Memorial Grief Seminar

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Alan Wolfelt will join us again for our next grief seminar to be held April 18 & 19, 2012. The seminar will consist of an evening program for families who have lost a loved one (7 pm - 9 pm on the 18th) and a day program for professional caregivers (9 am - 3:30 pm on the 19th). Dr. Wolfelt's program topic will be determined at a later date.

*** Park Memorial's grief seminar has typically been held at the Westin Hotel, although please note that the event may be relocated this year due to hotel renovations. Invitations mailed out in March will provide the final event location.

Please be sure to mark your calendar for Park Memorial's tenth grief seminar. In the meantime, you may want to check out Dr. Wolfelt's book titles here.
