Light up a Life with Oakhaven this Christmas
Wherever you are, whomever you have lost and whenever it was, you are warmly invited to join us as we cherish the memories of our loved ones.
We look forward to welcoming you to Light up a Life 2025
Light up a Life is Oakhaven’s annual service of remembrance and thanksgiving for the lives of loved ones we have lost. Each event is a beautiful and uplifting occasion and a pause for reflection before the festive season gets underway.

Everyone is welcome
The festive season is always a poignant time to remember cherished ones who are no longer with us, however long ago we lost them. Light up a Life is an opportunity for everyone in our community to come together to remember their loved ones. You do not have to have lost someone who was cared for at Oakhaven to participate.
