Ceremony Sustains us

Creating authentic moments that honor their traditions

Annual Candlelight Remembrance and Day of the Dead Ceremony

10/31/2019

I  used this ceremony, in some form for 10 years as a remembrance of ones who have passed on, with a nod to the Day of the Dead...until COVID shut us down.

It is held at Unity San Francisco and usually has a hundred or so candles, thanks to McCall's Catering and their willingness to loan us all those votives for the evening.

It began as a 7 candle ceremony which I pared it down to five candles in order to added interactivity with the passing of the candle via each person.  It gives it a contemplative pace which is very healing.

  • Source candle – White – from which all others will be lit – the rest will be passed…
    1. Candle of Community is orange
    2. Candle of Grief is purple
    3. Candle of Memory is green
    4. The Mystery of Life & Death – blue – here is the place for telling a story / naming your loved one
    5. Candle of Thanksgiving and Love is yellow
Attached is the file with the whole ceremony in PDF.  Let me know if you want it in Word etc. This could work as a hospice remembrance ceremony as well.
