We are honored to serve and comfort families through the natural process of grieving. Over the years, we’ve learned how the power of nature can further the healing process and bring comfort during emotionally difficult times.

When we lose loved ones, grief is a natural process. Grief can be cyclical, often catching you unaware during holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries. In these times of grief, nature’s tranquil spaces have an incredible power to comfort and heal. Simply being in nature can soothe the soul and give your mind a break from sadness. Below we’ve shared a list of the top 5 tranquil spaces in Boca Raton.

Gumbo Limbo Nature Center

Address: 1801 North Ocean Blvd.
The Gumbo Limbo Nature Center, located at the north end of Red Reef Park, offers 20 acres of coastal sanctuary for sea turtles, wildlife, and people. Take a stroll through the tranquil butterfly garden and revive your spirits. View the turtles and take comfort from their serene vibes. Wander along the boardwalk through a tropical hammock and see wildlife such as gray foxes and red-bellied woodpeckers.

South Beach Park Pavilion

Address: 400 N State Road A1A
The southernmost beach in Palm Beach County, this 11-acre park is located on A1A, where Palmetto Park Road ends. The pavilion, its main feature, offers a cool, calming view of the ocean and plenty of shady spots to sit, relax, and breathe in the sea air.
