Virtual 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 online.
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. ”
