Excitement is building as the 29th annual Worldwide Candle Lighting Ceremony approaches for 2024. Family and friends around the globe will unite as they light candles for one hour to honor and remember children who have died at any age from any cause.
As candles are lit at 7 pm local time, December 8 th a virtual wave of light will be created as
hundreds of thousands of persons commemorate and honor the memory of children
in a way that transcends all ethnic, cultural, religious and political
boundaries.
Now believed to be the largest mass candle lighting on the
globe, the Worldwide Candle Lighting, a gift to the bereavement community from
the compassionate friends, creates a virtual 24 hour wave of light as it moves
from time zone to time zone.
Hundreds of formal candle lighting events are held and
thousands of informal candle lightings are conducted in homes as families
gather in quiet remembrance of children who have died, but will never be
forgotten.
Every year you are invited to post a message in the
remembrance book which will be available, during the event, at TCF’s national
website. All allied bereavement organizations, churches, funeral homes,
hospices and formal and informal bereavement groups are invited to join in the December 8th Worldwide
Candle lighting at 7 pm.

Our hope is that you cherish the precious memories of time
spent together and that you are blessed
with a peace that lasts the rest of your life.
