Light up a Life

Celebrate the lives of those no longer with us… lighting them up for all to see

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 2024

Light up a Life is Oakhaven’s annual service of remembrance and thanksgiving for the lives of loved ones we have lost. Each service is a beautiful and uplifting occasion and pause for reflection before the festive season gets underway.

This year we are delighted to be able to hold four Light up a Life events: two in Lymington, one in Hythe and one in Totton. Please note that due to limited capacity at each venue, our Light up a Life events will be ticketed this year. Look out for your pack in the post or scroll down for tickets.

    Services at 3pm and 6pm.
  • Tuesday 10th December: St John's Church, Hythe

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.

Make a dedication to light up the life of a loved one

A dedication is a wonderful way to remember those close to us. We welcome your dedications, which will be included in a special Book of Remembrance at Oakhaven (the deadline has now passed for inclusion in the Light up a Life order of service). If you would like to make a donation in memory of your loved one, to accompany your dedication, we would be very grateful.

Your dedications will be displayed in a special Light up a Life Book of Remembrance at Oakhaven Hospice (the deadline has now passed for inclusion in the order of service).

Mark and Carolyne's story

"Hello, I’m Mark and I would like to share with you my experience of Oakhaven Hospice and the care they gave my beloved wife, Carolyne, and all our family.

It was such a privilege to be at Oakhaven, the perfect place at such a difficult time for us all. They looked after us so well and there aren’t any words to describe it. Everything we wanted to do; we did. Carolyne spent her last three weeks surrounded by her family, all she ever wanted, and we have Oakhaven to thank for that."
