Tree of Lights 2026

Remembering loved ones this December

We invite you to join us at our annual Tree of Lights Service on Sunday 6th December from 6.30pm at St Mary’s Hospital Site.

For many, this time of year brings a deeper sense of loss as we remember our loved ones who are no longer with us. The Tree of Lights service offers a chance to come together, share in the comfort of community, and celebrate the lives of those we miss, while recognising the vital role hospice care plays in supporting families during their most difficult moments.

Kyla’s story

After losing her vibrant, adventurous mother at just 50 years old, Kyla shares how Cransley Hospice provided comfort, dignity, and warmth in Tracey’s final days. From welcoming beloved pets to creating precious keepsakes for her grandchildren, the hospice became a safe haven for the entire family. Attending the Tree of Lights service brought Kyla and her family comfort during a difficult time. To read Kyla’s full story, click here.
