Garland Brook Cemetery to host 8th annual butterfly release

Garland Brook Cemetery in Columbus will be holding its annual Memorial Day weekend butterfly release on Saturday.

Amanda Klei, the general manager at Garland Brook, explains that the 10 a.m. butterfly release is a way to help those suffering the loss of a loved one.

“It is a ceremony for anyone to come out and to honor those who have passed on,” she said.

It will allow visitors to remember them in a supportive environment surrounded by others also dealing with loss, she said.

She explains how the butterfly release works.

Klei says the release will be heldĀ in the Bell Tower Gardens.
