"Memory Lane"

Purchase a Paver or Tree and Help Build a Memorial Pathway at New Regional Hospice Residence

The Memorial Garden at the new Regional Hospice and Home Care residence promises to be a place of peace. 

Budding trees, fragrant flowers and a soothing fountain will provide a backdrop for quiet contemplation and reflection. A Memorial Pathway marked with personalized pavers and commemorative trees will create a literal “memory lane,” filled with reflections of love and friendship to be enjoyed by all who come to the residence.

For $500 and $1,000, respectively, an 8x8 inch or 16x16 inch paver can be purchased and personalized with words of remembrance, whether your loved one received hospice services or not. A commemorative tree and plaque for a $3,500 donation will also honor friends and family with a lasting legacy.

Regional Hospice is currently building the first and only private-room, family focused hospice residence facility in the state of Connecticut, with plans to accept patients in December 2014. The construction of the new building is being funded by donations, with only $4 million needed to complete the $12 million total cost. The pavers and trees will help support the building of the new hospice residence and will help bring real hope to Regional Hospice patients and their families. 

For more information or to order a paver or tree, please contact Debbie Gundel at Regional Hospice and Home Care at (203) 702-7417 or email donate@regionalhospicect.org.
