Families can follow the angel trail around Hämeenkylä Church cemetery at their own pace. Its activity points approach grief and loss in a child-oriented way. Children can listen to a teddy-bear story, hug a comfort teddy and light an LED candle at the memorial for people buried elsewhere. Warm drinks are served, and deacons and pastors are available for conversation.
