December 17, 2025

Windsor, CA — During the holiday season, moments of joy are often accompanied by moments of reflection especially for families remembering loved ones during the holidays and navigating grief at this meaningful time of year. To support families navigating loss and remembrance during this time of year, Eggen & Lance, Fred Young Funeral Home, and Santa Rosa Mortuary invite the community to participate in their annual Holiday Remembrance Tree, located at the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree Grove in Windsor, California.

How the Holiday Remembrance Tree Honors Loved Ones

This meaningful tradition offers individuals and families a quiet space to remember and honor loved ones who have passed during the holidays. Visitors are encouraged to write the name of a loved one on a clothespin and place it on the tree—a simple yet powerful gesture of remembrance, love, and connection during the holidays.

“For many families, the holidays can bring both warmth and longing,” said Matthew Disbrow, General Manager of SRMEL. “The Holiday Remembrance Tree provides a place to pause, reflect, and honor those who continue to live on in our hearts.”

The Remembrance Tree is open to the public and welcomes families from Windsor, Santa Rosa, Healdsburg, Cloverdale, throughout Sonoma County and those visiting. Whether stopping by for a brief moment of reflection or returning year after year, community members are invited to take part in this shared tradition of honoring life and legacy.
