The holiday season is normally a time of joy, but when someone you love has died, it can be a time of loneliness and pain. 

Hanson-Neely Funeral Home will host its 10th annual Remembrance Service at the Ada funeral home Saturday, Dec. 14, at 2 p.m.

An ornament, personalized with the name of the loved one, will be given to put on the Remembrance Service Christmas tree. 

The staff of Hanson-Neely encourages persons to arrive early to place the ornament on the tree. At 3 p.m. Pastor Thomas Dearth of County Line Church of the Brethren, rural Ada and Pastor Mark Andreasen of the Alger Assembly of God church will present a short memorial service.  A reception will follow.

The Remembrance Service is presented as a gift to the community by Hanson-Neely Funeral Homes. All families are welcome regardless of the funeral home that provided the service for your loved one.
