Current Events
The holidays symbolize a time when family and friends gather in celebration. It can also be a difficult and emotional time for those grieving a loss. Since 1984, Hospice SLO County has offered the community an opportunity to come together to honor and remember loved ones who are no longer living but who will never be forgotten. We invite you to join us for music, words of comfort, a reading of names, and to light a candle for those you still hold close to your heart.

The lantern symbolizes light as we are guided through life’s journey. We use the symbolism of the lantern to represent the light of the individuals who have been special in our lives. The illumination, warmth, and glow provided by the candles giving light to the lanterns symbolize the influence these individuals have had on who we are today.
