A Christmas to Remember
Christmas can be a particularly difficult time when someone you love is no longer here. Each December, we invite Canterbury families to come together, remember those they’ve lost, and find comfort in the company of others who understand.
When someone dies, the need to remember doesn’t end with the funeral.
Christmas, anniversaries, and other special occasions can make their absence feel especially strong. Coming together can bring comfort, connection, and reassurance that you don’t have to carry those feelings alone.
Come with family, friends, or whÄnau. Or come on your own.
You’ll be warmly welcomed.
A Time to Gather
What to Expect
Each December, we hold candle-lighting gatherings at our Lamb & Hayward venues across Canterbury, creating time and space to pause, share memories, and remember together.Â
You’re welcome to:Â

- Write a personal message on an angel card
- Place your card on our remembrance tree
- Share a quiet moment of reflection
- Be alongside others who understand
