Hope Bear

Hi, my name is Hope! My job with Nashville Cremation Center (besides being adorable and cuddly) is to remind people there is always HOPE in any situation and phase of life.


Sometimes we get caught up in all the things we juggle in our daily lives and we lose sight of all the things for which we can still be hopeful. If nothing else, we can hope to be blessed with the peace and understanding that life is beautiful, even with all its twists, turns, and curveballs.



As you will see on our Facebook posts from time to time, I get to travel around and let people hold me (I love being carried with you) because everyone should carry hope with them everywhere. According to my co-workers, I am somewhat mischievous. They love to catch me in funny situations and post photos of me on our Facebook page. I guess it just goes to show you that you can find Hope in any situation! Make sure to follow along in my adventures, travels, and shenanigans!

Great question! Well, you can always find me at Nashville Cremation Center when there are families to meet and comfort. I am always a part of the arrangement conference so I can be there in case someone needs to hold on to me. I love being held. It’s my favorite thing!


When I am not hard at work bringing comfort to our wonderful families, you might get lucky and see me out and about with my human co-workers in the community, bringing hope and joy to everyone we meet! Not to mention, there is a good chance you might also catch me getting into a little mischief.


I am also getting ready to do some major traveling, so make sure you stay tuned to our Facebook page. I just might make you guess where I am. I can be found just about anywhere in the world!

When you feel like all hope is gone and life is coming to an end,

Wrap me up in a hug, because I want to be your friend.

You see, my name is Hope, and I am more than just a bear.

I am here to remind you that hope is still always there.

Even when the darkest times seems to fall about,

My hugs will remind you there is no reason for doubt.

I know that life can seem oh, so hard and tough,

But look at me and know, you can get through this stuff.

So please listen when I say that hope is always there.

I’m found on just the other side of the feeling of despair.

I want so much for you to carry me everywhere you go,

Because I am the bestest friend that you will ever know.

I want so much to make all of your shadows bright,

And help to fill your heart with magical, hopeful light.

So when you are afraid, hold me. I will show you that I care.

My name is Hope, you see, and I am so much more than just a bear.
