Light up a Life, sponsored by Fred Hamer Funeral Services, is a pivotal moment in Bury Hospice’s calendar. At this very special time of year we come together to remember those we love and miss and the joy they brought to our lives.

Christmas is a special time of year and switching the lights on our Christmas tree is an especially poignant part of our service and marks the moment where we take time to remember our loved ones.

The lights on our tree will shine brightly throughout the festive season as a symbol of our love and remind us of the special people we miss so much.

We would like you to join us in remembering your loved one by attending one of our services and dedicating a light this Christmas.
