Spirits of the Silent City
2025 Update...
The very popular and much loved Spirits of the Silent City will be taking a hiatus this October 2025 as Forest Home Cemetery navigates a significant staffing transition.
This was a very difficult decision for Forest Home, made only after deep reflection and heartfelt conversations. They’ve shared with us how much they cherish Spirits—an event that, thanks to your incredible support, has had an impact in ways no one could have imagined. There’s truly nothing else like it in the region.
