Candles of Remembrance

There are people we carry with us long after they are gone, and people we are holding especially close today. Candles of Remembrance is an afternoon for them all.

Bring your family and friends, pack a picnic, spread out your blanket or camping chairs and join us, your East Rand Palliative Care family, for an afternoon of live music with Jaryd Smith, time together and a beautiful candle-lighting ceremony as the sun sets.

This is a time to celebrate life and health as they are today, to make memories with those we love, including those who may be facing illness, and to remember the special people who have passed away but remain very much a part of our lives. Candles of Remembrance also brings us closer to the community that makes our work possible. Every ticket helps raise vital funds for East Rand Palliative Care, so that together we can continue caring for patients and families when they need it most.

Come as you are, bring the people you love, and let’s light up the evening together.

Request a special song

When purchasing your ticket, you can send us a song request in memory of someone special. Perhaps it was their favourite song. Perhaps it reminds you of a moment you shared. Perhaps hearing it takes you straight back to them. Jaryd will do his best to include as many requested songs as possible during his live performance.

Candle-lighting ceremony

Candles will be available for purchase on the day and as sunset approaches the East Rand Palliative Care medical team will lead us in a special ceremony to remember and honour those we have lost.
