2023 Circle of Lights

You can still light a virtual candle to honor a loved one for 2023. Even though the 2023 event has passed, the virtual candles will remain lit through 2023.

For questions or assistance with lighting your candle please contact Sydne Dickinson at sdickinson@KCHospice.org or 816.276.2617.

You may request a virtual memorial with or without a donation. Donations are appreciated, but not required.*

Name for Candle*
Please enter the name or initials of the person you want to remember (as you wish it to appear on their candle). Your friends and family will be able to search for and view the candle under the name you choose and it will appear with all the other memorials for the 2023 Circle of Lights. (NOTE: If you wish to donate and light multiple candles, light one with your donation and then add the others individually without a donation.)

If you wish, add a short dedication which will appear if someone clicks your candle.
Candle Group (optional)
Many people appreciate being part of a family or community for candle-lighting rituals. We offer the option to informally affiliate with a family or small group to share your remembrances.
New Group Identifier*
Enter a unique identifier for your group, so your candles can be grouped together. It is best to use something specific — an unusual word or an acronym associated with your “group” — rather than a commonly used word like “prayer,” “love,” or “grateful. ”

Existing Group Identifier*
Select your group's unique identifier from the list to group your candles together.
I am planning to attend the in-person event on May 23rd and would like a luminary lit that night.*
