PRESENTED BY O'SULLIVAN FUNERAL HOME
We are delighted to announce the 6th Annual Butterfly Release presented by O'Sullivan Funeral Home! Join us at the Bellevue Marina for a unique opportunity to celebrate the life of a loved one by releasing a butterfly in their honour or memory. Butterflies are a beautiful appreciation of a life lived and a multicultural symbol of change, transformation, and the beauty of nature. Their release signifies freedom and encourages those left behind to take another step in the healing process. Our team at ARCH is thrilled to celebrate this meaningful event, and we hope you will join us in this celebration of remembrance and transformation.
