A special service to remember a lost loved one is taking place at St Peter’s Church, in Sudbury, next month.

The St Nicholas Hospice Care’s Light up a Life thanksgiving service is being held on Sunday, December 2, at 3pm.

Those attending can reflect on the special times they had with their loved ones by adding personal dedications, messages, poems, stories and pictures to a tag (provided by the hospice) and tying it to a Light up a Life tree.

They can also choose to have a special name read out during the service, which will also feature readings, prayers and music.

Reservations are not required for the service which is free of charge, but donations to the hospice are welcome. The Sudbury service is one of eight Light up a Light events taking place throughout December. They are also taking place in Bury St Edmunds, Newmarket, Haverhill, Thetford and Lavenham.
