MOCK CAR CRASH
prom crashOn Friday, May 17 Evergreen will participate in Regis High School's SADD chapter (Students Against Destructive Decisions) "Mock Car Crash". This mock car crash is an emotional and realistic re-enactment of what can happen when a person chooses to drink and drive.
It is the hope this re-enactment of a drunk driving crash prior to prom and summer activities will help students think ahead, choose to be and drive sober.
We encourage all parents and families to talk about the emotional, financial, and health consequences regarding impaired driving with their son and/or daughter. Please help send and model the message to students and members who live in our community..."Impaired driving is not acceptable…ever."

UW-EC STUDENTS TOUR EVERGREEN
Students from the UW-Eau Claire toured the funeral home as part of their Death and Bereavement class. Participants make up students from both the nursing and social work programs at the University. We host this tour annually for the fall and spring semesters.

Comments from past participants:
"I have been excited for this field trip since before the semester even started. ...I feel the Beede's are very careful to respect the dignity and worth of an individual even after death."

"..the tour was extremely interesting. Jeff showed us a lot behind the scenes I would never have been able to see otherwise. He demystified the whole funeral process and made it less scary."

"The funeral home tour was fun for me. It really shot down the wrong ideas that I had associated with them."

"I liked the fact they do everything in their funeral home when someone has chosen cremation. I think that gives families a sense of ease that they don't need to worry about where their loved one is."

If you have a group or are an individual that would like a tour of our funeral home, please contact us either by sending an email or by calling at 715-830-5470.

EVENING OF REMEMBRANCE
evening of remembranceA time for healing, support, and remembering...
Our 2012 Evening of Remembrance was held on Saturday, December 1 at 3:00 p.m. for members of our community who experienced the death of a loved one this past year in hopes to provide comfort and healing on their journey through grief.

During this time we shared words of comfort, talked about ways to cope through this difficult time, and provided support for one another. We will celebrated the season and the memory of loved ones with an ecumenical service. Attendees lit a candle in remembrance and offered the name(s) of a loved one up in prayer. Each received a homemade ornament as a gift of remembrance.
