Park Tribute Center

Published:

ParkTributeCenterThe Park Tribute Center is Windham County’s only crematory and it is used exclusively for Gilman & Valade families.
Separated into two rooms, the gathering room offers the option for families to have a viewing, committal ceremony, reception, or a customized service of their choice. The cremation room is the area where the cremation takes place. A window with a curtain separates the gathering room from the cremation room, which allows the family to participate in as much or as little of the cremation process as they feel comfortable.

The Park Tribute Center offers the ideal environment for those who choose cremation. Most funeral homes subcontract the cremation procedure to a third party, but having our own guarantees that your loved one never leaves our care. Through careful procedures, our staff assures that each cremation is done with dignity and respect in an environment that is welcoming and transparent.

We encourage those interested in cremation to visit and educate themselves with a tour from one of our staff members.

Welcome To Gilman & Valade

Planning a funeral is one of life’s most difficult challenges. Yet virtually every culture recognizes the importance of commemorating the life and loss of a loved one with a meaningful ceremony.

We operate the Gilman Funeral Home in Putnam, the Valade Funeral Home in North Grosvenordale and the Park Tribute Center, Windham County’s only crematorium. Funerals don’t just signify that a life has ended, they signify that a life was lived and loved.

Funerals offer survivors the opportunity to mourn their loss amongst family and friends and to begin the healing process. So, what type of funeral service should you choose? Since no two people are alike, no two funerals should be alike. From planning a traditional burial with a wake and church service to a simple cremation in our own crematorium, we offer complete funeral care to all faiths and cultures.

At the Gilman and Valade Funeral Homes, we understand the importance of personalizing a funeral. We’ll guide you step by step, and help you create a meaningful event that celebrates your loved one’s unique life and helps the bereaved cope with their loss.

Planning a funeral is one of life’s most difficult challenges. Let us, the staff at the Gilman and Valade Funeral Homes and the Park Tribute Center be your personal guide.
