Light up a Life

Wednesday, December 2nd (Bury Parish Church) and Sunday, December 6th (Bury Hospice)

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.

Running alongside the annual service is Bury Hospice’s Light up a Life donation appeal, which will help us to continue to deliver palliative and end-of-life care and support to patients and their families.

We have teamed up with online memorial platform, MuchLoved so you can make a dedication online along with a photo of a loved one, a message or a memory.

The dedication you make will be featured on a special tribute page throughout our 2026 Light up a Life season.

We encourage you to spread the word of Light up a Life as we want as many people as possible from across Bury to join us.

While all of our events are here to bring people together, they raise money for us too. As a hospice we have been overwhelmed by the love we have experienced throughout the year.

By supporting our Light up a Life donation appeal, you will be showing our patients and their families how much you care and helping to make the festive period extra special.

We could not do what we do without the support of our community, we are grateful for every penny raised and we look forward to sharing Light up a Life with you.
