In 2021, Juneteenth became recognized as a federal holiday in the United States. For some Americans, it’s a new holiday to learn more about. But for many Black families and communities across the nation, it’s a well-known time to celebrate liberation, culture and joy. https://t.co/VoTTk1olUg

🖤💛❤️ Honoring Juneteenth ❤️💛🖤

Today, we pause to recognize Juneteenth, a day that commemorates freedom, resilience, and the enduring strength of the Black community.

Observed on June 19, Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when the last enslaved African Americans in Texas learned of their freedom—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. It is a day of reflection, remembrance, and celebration of the progress made while acknowledging the work that remains.

As we honor this important day, we remember those who carried this history forward through generations and celebrate the contributions, culture, and legacy that continue to enrich our communities.

"Last year when my mother passed away, Brian Crawley and his team at Chapel Hill Cemetery were so kind and professional, handling every detail with care. As I was making the arrangements from out of state, I especially appreciated Brian going over every detail with me which resulted in a beautiful service for my mother. With this being the second family member to be buried at Chapel Hill, I highly recommend them."

The Roman word "pallium" refers to a person's cape or cloak, often used in relation to a soldier. When the person passed away, they were covered in the cloak. This led to the term "pall" and is a heavy, usually white, and sometimes ornate cloth that is draped over the casket. The terms "casket bearer" and "pall" were merged together to create the term "pallbearer" which refers to a person who carries the casket during a funeral service.
