Over the past years, Novak-Ramm-Ziegler Funeral Home has found that there was a need for a project to help supply coats for people in need. Since 1991, our business has conducted an annual coat collection in conjunction with Salvation Army. During September and October of each year, clean coats in good condition, ranging in sizes from infant through adult, are collected at the funeral home. The coats are then delivered to Salvation Army for distribution by their staff. We encourage all local churches, schools, and service clubs to participate in this worthwhile program. The people of Sheboygan County are most generous in their donations to help those who may be less fortunate. For further information on this program, our Family Resource Center, or our Lending Library, please contact us at (920) 452-7711 or (920) 457-3883.
Holidays can be the most difficult time of the year for someone who has experienced the death of a family member or close friend. Since 1991, Novak-Ramm-Ziegler Funeral Home has presented our "Handling the Holidays" program which is held during the month of November prior to the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Our program is intended to help people cope with the grief they face during the holiday season. The program features a speaker who discusses the many ways a family can deal with holiday traditions. There is a candle lighting ceremony to honor those who have died, followed by a time for refreshment and fellowship. Family members are encouraged to take a snowflake ornament in memory of their loved ones. Informational packets are available for our guests to take home, along with a list of books and resources from our Lending Library. For further information on this program, our Family Resource Center or our Lending Library, please contact us at (920) 452-7711 or (920) 457-3883.
Lending Library Novak-Ramm-Ziegler Funeral Home has expanded its Family Resource Center to include our new Lending Library. We bring our library to Sheboygan as a part of our commitment to community outreach. We feel strongly in our responsibility to share our expertise so as to better educate the community. Our library contains more than one hundred and fifty books, videos, brochures and pamphlets on issues of loss in our daily lives. Literature and videos can be checked out for a month at a time. Simply visit our library between the hours of 8:30 A.M. and 4:00 P.M. Monday through Friday. Our library includes materials on the following subjects: loss and grief situations connected with the death of a family member, co-worker or friend; suicide, AIDS, SIDS, prenatal loss, divorce, and readjustment to life after abuse. We also extend an invitation to individuals in our schools, churches, hospitals and civic groups to tour our funeral home. Our tours provide the opportunity to learn firsthand about funeral service in our society today.
Memorial Garden Novak-Ramm-Ziegler Funeral Home has created a memorial garden with flag pole to honor all Sheboygan County men and women who bravely served the United States during both peacetime and war. On Memorial Day, Friday, May 30, 2003, we dedicated this area at South Twelfth Street and Spruce Court. Dignitaries in attendance were: State Senator Joe Leibham, The Honorable James Schramm Mayor of Sheboygan, Alderman Daniel Berg and the City of Sheboygan Police Honor Guard. More than fifty veteran honorees representing area Veteran of Foreign Wars Posts were in attendance. An Invocation was given by Deacon Michael Burch, Parish Director of St. Peter Claver Catholic Church. Representatives of the United States Army and United States Navy conducted the Military Honors. This detail was supplied by the Military Honors Program through the Wisconsin Department of Veteran Affairs. A monument at the entrance to the funeral home marks the event as follows: THE MEMORIAL GARDEN AND FLAG POLE AT S. 12TH STREET AND SPRUCE COURT IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF ALL SHEBOYGAN COUNTY MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE BRAVELY SERVED THE UNITED STATES DURING PEACETIME AND WAR. MAY THIS SYMBOL OF FREEDOM CONTINUE TO INSPIRE FUTURE GENERATIONS TO SERVE IN THE ARMED FORCES AND PROTECT THE VALUES OF THIS GREAT NATION.
