Landing page captured for the 2026-10-25 issue.

For: Families grieving someone they have lost
Worth noticing: Each candle has four gold-framed panels for a name and dates, hand-lettered words, and a meaningful image.

Field notes

Families provide a name, dates, and chosen words or images; volunteers in Dundee make each candle by hand and send it boxed to the recipient. The site shows examples with different dedications, including German-language lettering. It also documents a shared candle made for Perth Royal Infirmary’s chaplaincy, lit at a weekly service at Perth Crematorium for families grieving a baby.
