Light Up a Life

The ceremonies are in one central Eureka location and include presentations from Hospice speakers as well as live music. Local songstress Shyniesa Currie will sing at the 4 p.m. ceremony and the Arcata Community Interfaith Gospel Choir will sing at the 7 p.m. ceremony. In addition to the candle lighting portion of the ceremony there are two “interactive” ways those who attend can participate. Community members are encouraged to bring a small memento or photo of their loved one to place on the memorial altar during the ceremony. They are also encouraged to add their loved one’s name to the Light Up a Life memorial and honoree list which hangs on the wall during the ceremony.
