NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Many churches and even a few funeral homes hosted sunrise services to help get Easter Sunday started.
One service brought the community together at the Pavilion at Harpeth Hills Funeral Home and Memory Garden.
Organizers wanted the event to be a morning of reflection and hope.
The director of the funeral home said they will be celebrating life and also finding strength within the community.
The service featured a live singer, a scripture reading, a prayer and a message delivered by Mike Shelton, a minister and funeral ambassador.
The event began at 6 a.m. Sunday, and attendees continued to fellowship with refreshments afterward.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
