Light a Virtual Candle in Memory

Lighting a candle is a simple way to honor someone you love. A candle stands for love, hope, and the light a person brought to the world.

Our free candle service is paused right now. This page explains why memorial candles matter and how people use them.

Our Free Candle Service is Temporarily Offline

We get a lot of spam. That forced us to pause this free service. We are very sorry about the trouble.

Why Do People Light a Candle?

Lighting a candle is an old way to show love and hope. Many people light one on the anniversary of a death. Some light one on a birthday. Others visit a candle on All Souls' Day or Day of the Dead.

A candle flame reminds us that love and memory never really go away. That is why people still light them today.
