Come in person for the ceremony at Beechwood, Canada's National Cemetery, to remember our loved ones. Release a Live Butterfly in memory of a loved one... Each spring, Bereaved Families of Ottawa holds a special community memorial and fundraising event. The event is open to the public. Pre-registration is required if you would like to purchase a butterfly to release in honour of your loved one. Can't attend? Please consider making a donation to help someone who is not financially able to attend. The event begins with a memorial ceremony in the Sacred Space inside the Beechwood National Memorial Center. This part of the event features live music, with speakers on hand, and an opportunity for participants to speak the names of their loved ones who have died. From the memorial ceremony, we move to the hill overlooking the garden and pond, to share a symbolic release of live painted lady butterflies. These beautiful butterflies are a symbol of hope and transformation, and the simultaneous release of them is magical. Our Guest Speaker (Rob Boyd): Rob is the CEO of the Ottawa Inner City Health. He has been working at the intersection of homelessness, mental and substance use health care in Ottawa for over 35 years. On September 18th, 2013, Rob’s son, Connor, age 21, died in a crash when the OC Transpo bus he was on collided with a VIA Rail train in Barrhaven. Rob will talk about his grief journey from early days until today, highlighting what he has found most helpful. Rob lives in the country and likes working around his property and spending time outdoors. You will receive a tax receipt for $25 of the ticket price of $45. 100% of the ticket price proceeds goes towards providing BFO's grief support programs. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/ottawa/butterfly-memorial-event-2025/200028144928556 - **Event Categories**: nonprofit, charities, music, live-music, health-wellness, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 41 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/bfo-ottawa/events/butterfly-memorial-event-2025/?utm_source=AllEvents.in&utm_medium=event-discovery-platform&utm_campaign=ottawa-events ## Event venue details - **city**: Ottawa - **state**: ON - **country**: Canada - **location**: Beechwood, Funeral, Cemetery and Cremation Services - **lat**: 45.444707382444 - **long**: -75.666688084602 - **full address**: Beechwood, Funeral, Cemetery and Cremation Services, Beechwood Cemetery, 280 Beechwood Ave, Ottawa, ON K1L 8A6, Canada,Ottawa, Ontario ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 2 - **organizer**: Bereaved Families of Ontario - Ottawa Region (https://allevents.in/org/bereaved-families-of-ontario-ottawa-region/12486809) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/55d5601e079e4ab109a568bcc93ae73703c4b8fb0f6d24c96ef816f75c31f0a6-rimg-w1200-h600-dc65c190-gmir?v=1748955661 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/6d5168a8c2b3e3de7deeaf1b6413f135fc5337854b387761116574c94ca98a9d-rimg-w300-h300-dcf4f4f5-gmir?v=1748955661 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Sun, 08 Jun, 2025 at 03:00 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Beechwood, Funeral, Cemetery and Cremation Services, Beechwood Cemetery, 280 Beechwood Ave, Ottawa, ON K1L 8A6, Canada,Ottawa, Ontario - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Bereaved Families of Ontario - Ottawa Region - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** nonprofit, charities, music, live-music, health-wellness, entertainment - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Butterfly Memorial Event 2025 ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Butterfly Memorial Event 2025", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/55d5601e079e4ab109a568bcc93ae73703c4b8fb0f6d24c96ef816f75c31f0a6-rimg-w1200-h600-dc65c190-gmir?v=1748955661", "startDate": "2025-06-08", "url": "https://allevents.in/ottawa/butterfly-memorial-event-2025/200028144928556", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Beechwood, Funeral, Cemetery and Cremation Services", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Beechwood Cemetery, 280 Beechwood Ave, Ottawa, ON K1L 8A6, Canada,Ottawa, Ontario", "addressLocality": "Ottawa", "addressRegion": "ON", "addressCountry": "CA" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "45.444707382444", "longitude": "-75.666688084602" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Butterfly Memorial Event 2025\n\nPurchase your tickets here: \n\nhttps://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/bfo-ottawa/events/butterfly-memorial-event-2025/\n\nOn Sunday, June 8 at 3 pm, the Ottawa community will come together to experience the Butterfly Memorial Event, by BFO-Ottawa.
