Styled to match the Save the Date post: the script lettering and garland are taken from that artwork. A short video loop of last year's evening can still replace the moving lights behind it.

Devall & Son · Mary Ann Evans Hospice

Every December, families gather on Attleborough Green to remember the people they love. Their photographs light the big screens, and every gift helps Mary Ann Evans Hospice care for local families.

  1. Before Friday 27 November

    Share their photograph

    Add a photo of the person you're remembering, their name and a few words of your own.

  2. Sunday 6 December

    See them remembered

    Their photograph is shown on the big screens during the service, among the community who came to remember too.

  3. The morning after

    Keep the video

    Every photograph and message becomes the memorial video, released the next day to watch or download.

Their photo and message

PhotographOnce it's chosen, you can crop it here. We never retouch or alter your photograph.

Families can crop their own photo (1 Oct 2026). The file is kept exactly as sent; the crop is saved alongside it, so Devall can see or undo it in the console. Wording replaces "We never edit, crop or alter" and needs Michelle's sign-off.

0 / 50
Up to 50 characters, so everyone can read it in the few seconds it's on screen.

Crop the photo

Drag the corners or edges to choose what's shown. Drag inside the frame to move it.

Why your gift matters

£2.8m

What it costs to run the hospice for a year. Every service is free to the families it cares for.

Your local community hospice

Mary Ann Evans Hospice gives specialist care, support and advice to people living with a life-limiting illness, and to the families caring for them — physical, emotional, social and spiritual.

From Devall & Son

For over forty years we've cared for families in Nuneaton and Coventry at the hardest moments of their lives. Eternal Lights is our way of giving back: a place to remember together, often at the first Christmas without someone.

Logos from the hospice's own website and last year's page. Ask Nicky for vector files, brand guidelines, and whether to show their 35-years mark.

Last year's memorial video

Watch the 2025 video

Every photograph and message shared last year, as it was shown on the evening.

Served from our own storage in place of the 983MB zip download. After this year’s service the 2026 video takes its place. After this year's service the 2026 video takes its place. Some candles in this photo carry families' handwritten names — confirm Devall & Son are happy to use it.

Questions

Before you ask

Can't find what you need? Call our Nuneaton team on 024 7637 5665.

Draft answers. Michelle to swap in the questions the team actually gets asked every year.

Why is my message limited to 50 characters?
Each photograph is on the big screens for only a few seconds. A short message means everyone at the service can read it in time.
Can I remember more than one person?
Yes. When you've finished, choose "Remember someone else". We keep your details, so you only need to add the next photograph and message.
When do photo uploads close?
Friday 27 November, so there's time to put the memorial video together before the service.
Can I pay in cash?
Yes. Come in to our Nuneaton reception at 2 Wembrook House, The Green, Attleborough, and we'll scan your photograph for you. You can call us first on 024 7637 5665.
What is Gift Aid?
If you pay UK Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax, Gift Aid lets the hospice claim an extra 25p from HMRC for every £1 you give, at no cost to you.
How do I get a copy of the memorial video?
The video is released the day after the service. Scan the QR code on the back of your order of service, or come back to this page.
