An Invitation to Join Us for A Wave of Light – Wednesday 15th October

​

We know that the loss of a baby leaves an imprint that time does not erase, and anniversaries such as Baby Loss Awareness Week can feel especially tender. 

​

With this in mind, we would like to warmly invite you to join us at The Downs Crematorium on Wednesday 15th October at 6:30pm for A Wave of Light — a global commemoration held each year to honour babies who died too soon.

​

The ceremony will be led by Celebrant, Stewart O’Sullivan, who has walked alongside many families during baby funerals throughout his career. Together, we will create a space of remembrance, reflection and gentle connection.

​

✨ During the ceremony, you will be invited to write a “letter to heaven”, which can then be placed in our bespoke mailbox in the gardens of The Downs.

​

✨ As dusk approaches, just before 7pm, we will gather on the chapel steps to light tea candles in memory of each precious baby. These will guide the way to the mailbox, where your letter may be posted.

​

✨ We encourage you, if you wish, to share a photograph of your candle using the hashtag #WaveOfLight, helping you to connect with others around the world who carry a similar loss in their hearts.

​

We hope this evening will feel both healing and uplifting — a moment to pause, to honour, and to know that you are not alone.

 

As the funeral directors who supported you during one of the hardest chapters of your life, it would mean so much to welcome you back and to share in this peaceful act of remembrance together.
