The annual White Rose Luminary Service will begin at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 22, at the White Rose Mausoleum. The purpose of the service is to honor and remember loved ones.
Luminaries, which consist of a small paper sack weighted down with sand and illuminated by an LED light, are placed around the halls of the White Rose Mausoleum. Each luminary has a card attached with the loved one’s name and by whom they are honored.
Rosie Swindell will read the names of those being remembered, and Joe Todd will read the names on the cemetery’s Military Killed in Action and Bodies Not Recovered monument.
After the service, guests are invited to take their luminary and place it on the grave of their loved one.
Loved ones do not have to be buried at White Rose Cemetery to have a luminary in their memory. Luminaries may be purchased for $5 each at the Bartlesville Public Library through Nov. 14.
