Light up a Life services – Manchester Cathedral

Join one of our Light up a Life services and dedicate a light to remember your loved one.

December 1, 2024 | 1:00pm

Join one of our services of remembrance at Manchester Cathedral. The Light up a Life services are an opportunity to come together in reflection and celebration of the lives of loved ones. We would be delighted if you could join us.

Light up a Life

You’re invited to join our Light up a Life appeal and dedicate a light to remember your loved one. Make a dedication online by adding a light to our Winter Forest, along with a photo, message or memory, and you’ll be able to share your dedication with friends and family online. You can also dedicate a light anonymously if you wish.

When you dedicate a light online, you will be able to choose which service you would like to attend and how many places you would like. 

The services

The services at Manchester Cathedral will be held by our hospice Chaplain. The services will include songs from the choir, words from those in the St Ann’s community, carols, a poem and the lighting of the tree. There will also be a moment of reflection where you can place a decoration on the tree in memory of your loved one.

All Light up a Life dedications received by Friday 22nd November will be recorded in the 2024 Book of Honour, which will be on display at all the services, as well as at both of our hospices next year.
