Light up a Life

Dedicate a light to someone you love this December and join us at this year's Light up a Life.

With the festive season approaching, Light up a Life is a wonderful way to bring your family and friends together in memory of your loved ones by dedicating a light in tribute to their memory in a unique and meaningful way.

An annual event, Light up a Life is a touching opportunity to come together in memory of your loved ones, dedicating a light in their name. In addition to making a dedication, we invite you to join us for a series of services in The Kirkwood Gardens. After our Light up a Life event, our picturesque gardens will transform into a haven of light throughout the festive period, with each light on our tree shining out in memory of those you love.

This December, we will host events at The Kirkwood Gardens in Dalton and Longcauseway Church in Dewsbury.

When you've made a dedication to your loved one, you will receive a heartfelt handwritten card with your loved one's name presented, with an invitation to attend one of our Light up a Life events, held on Saturday, 2nd December and Sunday, 3rd December for a memorable evening of readings, music, and moments for reflection, as well as the lighting of our tree, each light shining brightly in memory of your loved ones.

Make a Dedication Online

Our online dedication page is available for you to remember your loved one by sharing a heartfelt message and a photo if you desire. This page serves as a significant and lasting way to immortalise the memories of someone you hold dear during the festive period, with the opportunity to invite your family and friends to view your tribute, no matter where they are.
