Puritan Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Peabody will hold its 30th annual candlelight service on Dec. 2.
The service, which will be at 4:15 p.m. at Puritan Lawn’s Veterans Circle on Pierce Boulevard, is an annual community event offered as an opportunity to celebrate the season and pay respects to those who have died.
Led by Puritan Lawn Family Service member Chris DePiero, the service will include song selections performed by the Masconomet Chamber Choir & Chorale, invocation and benediction presented by Pastor Thomas Coots, short readings by members of the Puritan Lawn community, and the lighting of the 50-foot Christmas tree in Veterans Circle.
Candles will be handed out, and there will be a free holiday raffle with several prizes. This year, Puritan Lawn is collecting money for Citizens Inn in Peabody, an organization that provides meals and transitional housing to local families in need.
