Puritan Lawn Memorial Park 25th Annual Candlelight Service

The Puritan Lawn service will be held outdoors at Puritan Lawn’s Veterans’ Circle on Pierce Boulevard, the main avenue leading into the cemetery.

The Candlelight Service is an annual community event offered as an opportunity for families to celebrate the season and pay respects to the memory of their loved ones. 

The service will include the always-popular Masconomet Chorale & Chamber Choir singing selections from both traditional and modern composers.  We are pleased to announce that Peabody Mayor Edward A. Bettencourt Jr. will also be attending this years’ service.
