WEBSITE CONNECTS TEXAS FLOOD VICTIMS WITH FREE MEMORIAL VENUES

In response to the devastating floods across Texas, a new online resource is connecting grieving families with free venues and services for memorials, funerals, and celebrations of life.

The site, spaces4solace.org, was created by Ren Newey, founder of My Wedding Scout, who said she felt called to action after seeing the widespread loss.

“When people lose everything, the last thing they should have to worry about is how to gather and grieve,” Newey said. “We wanted to do something tangible—something healing.”

All participating locations have waived fees to offer their spaces and services to families honoring loved ones lost in the floods. The website is updated daily as more vendors step forward to support the effort.
