Monocacy Park in Bethlehem, PA

Sandip’s ashes were scattered across the waterfalls of Monocacy Park, located in Bethlehem, PA, where we spent our summers as children. As we scattered his ashes, we scattered white rose petals in the water. His ashes join those of other members of our maternal family have been scattered in the same location.

Be still, my heart, these great trees are prayers. - Rabindranath Tagore

When we are grieving, we're apt to feel in some way alone, cut off from other people and living things. It is salutary to go outside and stand by a tree. To stand in the presence of a great tree is to feel a kind of solidarity with nature, a continuity between oneself and the whole created world. - Martha Hickman

The City of Bethlehem planted two trees and a plaque in the park in Sandip’s honor. The plaque standing between the two trees says “In loving memory of Sandip, and the family he enjoys after life.”
