Walking through Grief, a service of the Cave Hill Heritage Foundation, is a comprehensive series of programs designed to serve families that have recently experienced a loss. By gathering together in a communal setting, families can start the process of navigating through grief by participating in one of our Grief Walks, Book Club, Community Lectures and or Holiday Remembrance Program. This is a complimentary community service.
We recommend waiting at least 6-8 weeks following the death of a loved one before joining the group.
This easy-paced walking group meets four times a year to take a 90-minute stroll through the Cemetery. Under the stewardship of the Chaplaincy Program at Norton Healthcare and staff of the Cave Hill Heritage Foundation, participants will engage in a range of opportunities to share and learn from others who have experienced the death of a spouse/partner, or other close friend or relative, while enjoying some mild exercise and the scenic beauty of the grounds. Families gather at the Broadway entrance of Cave Hill Cemetery. During extremely cold or inclement weather, the group will meet inside at the Broadway entrance.

The holidays can be one of the most difficult times for families after experiencing a loss. Join Cave Hill Cemetery as we celebrate the life of your loved one during this very special occasion, which will feature live music and opportunities to share your memories. This year, we will specifically invite every family to this in-person event that has been served by Cave Hill Cemetery from November 2024 through September 2025. However, this opportunity is open to the community and all families, regardless of the time of loss or place of burial.
Registration is required to attend or receive a live simulcast link to view the service if you are unable to join us in-person, and have your loved one's photograph shared and special memory read aloud during the program.
If you need assistance with registration, uploading photographs, or have questions, please feel free to reach us directly at 502.813.7761. Our team is happy to assist you in any way necessary.
