Lone Fir Cemetery Annual Qingming Festival

Please join us for the annual Qingming Festival at the site of the future Cultural Heritage and Healing Garden at Lone Fir Cemetery Hosted by the Lone Fir Cemetery Foundation in partnership with Wendi YuLing, artist and funeral celebrant.

For decades, the southwest corner of Lone Fir, also known as Block 14, has been depleted of markers honoring individuals who were buried in this barren space. In celebration of Qingming, Wendi YuLing will guide visitors through rituals and practices to recognize individuals throughout Block 14 as well as those we have lost in our own lives.
