Lights to Remember

Throughout December, the Mercy Hospice gardens will be illuminated with thousands of lights – each one dedicated to the life of a loved one who has passed away.
Come along and experience the 'Lights to Remember' magic in person.

This is the first time Mercy Hospice has opened its gates for Lights to Remember, providing a safe space for people to remember loved ones who have passed.

“Missing you as always, even more so at Christmas, you used to fill our homes with much laughter and love” (Mercy Hospice Supporter)
Anyone can dedicate a light. These dedications help comfort grieving whānau and ensure everyday Aucklanders can continue to access the highest quality palliative care.

Mercy Hospice currently cares for more than 350 patients at any one time in the community, helping with the physical, mental and emotional demands of caring for someone through terminal illness, providing a range of free specialist community palliative care and hospice services for people facing life-limiting illnesses, caring for them with clinical expertise and compassion.
We hope ‘Lights to Remember’ can help bring people together this holiday season.
