To mark Baby Loss Awareness Week (9th–15th October), Rushton Family Funerals will be hosting a special Wave of Light on Wednesday 15th October at 7pm, in the back of St. Wilfrid’s Church, Ripon.

This heartfelt event offers families and individuals a chance to come together, light a candle, and remember babies who have sadly gone too soon. The Wave of Light is a worldwide initiative where candles are lit at 7pm local time, creating a continuous wave of light across the globe in remembrance and support.

As part of Baby Loss Awareness Week, the front of Rushton's funeral homehas been illuminated in pink and blue, the official colours of the campaign. Members of the community are warmly invited to add a baby’s name to the window display, creating a moving tribute to all the little ones who are loved and remembered.

Luke Rushton, Owner and Funeral Director at Rushton's said:

"Baby Loss Awareness Week is a time for reflection, remembrance, and community. We hope this simple act of lighting a candle brings comfort to anyone affected by the loss of a baby and helps them feel less alone in their grief.”

Everyone is welcome to attend the service, regardless of faith or background. Candles will be provided, but guests are also welcome to bring their own.
