Children's Tribute Program
For families Hamilton’s has served who have had a child die, we place an individual garden ornament in our specially planted Butterfly Garden surrounding the patios at our funeral home on Westown Parkway in West Des Moines. The Garden Dancer ornament, in the shape of a boy or girl dancing, has the child’s name etched out of the metal and rests on a stake among the butterflies and flowers. The family receives a letter inviting them to visit the garden whenever they wish.

Periodically throughout the year, we hold a special dedication, or Children’s Tribute, for the families whose children are honored in the Garden, at Hamilton’s on Westown Parkway. Following this dedication, families are invited to take their child’s Garden Dancer home as a keepsake.
