If you choose to come to the cemetery, please stay in your vehicle until the services are performed and the grounds staff have left. Afterwards you may pay respects.

Many have asked how they might pay tribute.

In lieu of flowers and attendance at the funeral service of our beloved, your kind donations to the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Southern United States are greatly appreciated by the family in memoriam of Dr. Ghabbour Ghabbour:
