Milford Care Centre announces annual Light Up a Memory ceremony this December

Milford Care Centre warmly invites you to join us for our annual Light Up a Memory ceremony on Sunday, December 7th, 2025, taking place this year at the earlier time of 4pm.

For the first time, this special event will be held outdoors on the grounds of Milford Care Centre, adjacent to the Reception area. Attendees are encouraged to dress appropriately for winter conditions.

For over 25 years, Light Up a Memory remains one of the Centre’s most meaningful traditions - an opportunity for families, friends and neighbours to come together in remembrance. We invite you to sponsor a light on the Memory Tree in honour of a loved one.

The tree will shine brightly from the conclusion of the ceremony on December 7th, 2025, through January 1st, 2026, each light symbolising the enduring bonds that are especially treasured during the Christmas season.

Mary O’Brien, CEO of Milford Care Centre, extends a heartfelt invitation to all:

“We’d be delighted to welcome you to Milford Care Centre on December 7th for our Light Up a Memory ceremony. This special tradition is about coming together, remembering those we love, and celebrating their lives in a meaningful way. It’s a moment of reflection and connection that means so much to our community and to us. We hope you can join us.”

Milford Care Centre also extends sincere appreciation to Cook Medical, the event's long- standing sponsor. Bill Doherty, Executive Vice President EMEA at Cook Medical, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to supporting Light Up a Memory and acknowledged Milford Care Centre’s special place in the community.

You can sponsor a light on the Memory Tree for €5, and each sponsorship comes with a commemorative “Light Up a Memory” card to honour a loved one’s memory.
