Candles of Remembrance - Hospice Orillia

Each year Hospice Orillia hosts its annual Candles of Remembrance Ceremony where community members gather to honour those who are no longer with us.

The 2024 Candles of Remembrance Ceremony will take place on Thursday, November 28th, 2024 at Creative Nomad Studios. This year in addition to our gathering in person, we will also be providing the community with the opportunity to add their loved ones’ photo and a message on our memorial wall (you do not need to be attending the ceremony in person to utilize our Memorial Wall). Please note the memorial submissions will open October 1st.

RSVP

Please use the button below to submit your loved ones names, photos and sentiments to the Virtual Memorial Wall. Attendance at the in-person Candles of Remembrance Ceremony is not required to include your loved one on the Memorial Wall. The next update to the Wall will be on November 12th, incorporating all submissions received from November 1st to November 12th.

Grief is a normal reaction to the loss of a loved one. It can also be a reaction to the loss of relationships, physical ability, opportunities or future hopes and dreams.

Bereavement is the state of having suffered the loss of a loved one. It is the time after a loss during which grief is experienced and mourning occurs.

Mourning is the external expression of grief. It includes rituals that mark someone’s death, such as funerals, wakes or memorial services. Mourning is strongly influenced by a person’s spiritual and cultural beliefs and practices.
