For families who lost someone this year, the first Thanksgiving or Christmas without them can bring a heavy mix of love and longing. Higgins Funeral Home in Fayetteville understands that, and each November it opens its doors for an evening set aside just for remembering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2026 Holiday Remembrance Service will be held Thursday, Nov. 19, at Higgins Funeral Home. Anyone who has had a loss is invited to come together and honor the people they miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2528\" height=\"1696\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/11\/Higgins-Correction.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27011\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The evening is simple and heartfelt. It includes a ceremony honoring loved ones, a memorial message, and time to simply be together. Words of comfort will come from Brother Joe Self, who also helps lead the funeral home\u2019s Beyond Sorrow grief support group, so he knows what the road through loss can look like. Music will be provided by Simply Fabulous. Afterward, guests are welcome to stay for refreshments and a chance to visit with others who understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Higgins, the service is a natural part of how it cares for families. Its support does not end when the funeral does. A full-time aftercare team stays in touch in the weeks and months that follow, and the funeral home offers individual grief counseling, a free grief library, and monthly Beyond Sorrow meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the heart of the evening is an idea the funeral home shares often: healing does not mean forgetting. Talking about loved ones, telling their stories, and making time to honor them are healthy ways to keep those bonds strong. For anyone who cannot attend, the Higgins family sends its warmest wishes for a blessed holiday season and a reminder that no one has to carry grief alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Contact Higgins Funeral Home<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>(931) 433-2544<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.higginsfh.com\"><strong>www.higginsfh.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This story is sponsored content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Families are invited to find comfort, music, and community at the annual Holiday Remembrance Service on Nov. 19.
