Join us for our first annual remembrance ceremony on Sunday, June 22, from 4:00-6:00 pm at Wellfleet Preservation Hall. Suncatchers: A Community Gathering for Remembrance will honor residents who have died at the Lily House since we opened our doors in October 2023, and all those we've loved who have passed.

To date, the Lily House has cared for 32 residents from 15 different towns and villages across the Cape & Islands. We cared for each resident with love throughout their end-of-life journey. Suncatchers is an opportunity to gather once again with friends and family in celebration and remembrance. 

Suncatchers is also an opportunity for us to gather as a community to remember all those we’ve loved who have passed. We invite all attendees to bring photos and/or mementos of their beloveds— human and animal—to adorn a community altar.

Whether you have experienced the death of a loved one recently or many years ago, this event is for you. Together, we will join in song and ceremony, keeping the spirits of those we love close. 

As we gather on the weekend of the summer solstice, we acknowledge the significance of the longest day. The word solstice comes from the Latin solstitium, meaning "sun standing still.” With the sun high in the sky, it can appear to pause.

Suncatchers invites our community to stand still—like the sun at its peak—and reflect on the love we continue to carry for those who have died. 

Suncatchers is free and open to all. Donations are gratefully accepted.
RSVPs requested due to limited space. Please RSVP here.
