Light Up a Life, 12/6/24
We feel truly grateful to be part of such a caring and supportive community here in Siskiyou County. Our 2024 Light Up a Life ceremony took place in Yreka on December 6th, with this year’s theme—the dragonfly—symbolizing the beautiful transition from one world to the next. It was a touching evening of remembrance and connection. If you couldn’t join us, or would like to revisit the event, we invite you to watch the video below.
PAst events
Garden Party, 9/27/24
In September, we held our Bi-Annual Garden Party—a special evening to welcome the community to our grounds, share more about the work we do, and most importantly, to say thank you. We simply couldn’t do this vital work of providing compassionate end-of-life care without your ongoing support. This evening was our heartfelt way of saying: thank you for walking alongside us.
Art Auction , 3/17/25
Our Annual Art Auction was a vibrant celebration of creativity, community, and a whole lot of heart! With local artists, art lovers, live music, mouthwatering food—and a brand-new dessert auction that was a sweet success—we raised nearly $28,000 to support the Madrone Hospice House. The video below captures the magic of the night—take a look!
Casino Night at Grenada Gardens
Join Grenada Gardens and Madrone Hospice in a fun evening of poker, cocktails, food, and more! Proceeds go to benefit Madrone’s hospice services.
Death Cafe
At a Death Cafe, people, often strangers, gather to eat cake, drink tea, and discuss death. Our objective is to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their finite lives.
A Death Cafe is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives, or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session.

Death Café
It can be challenging to find a place to converse about death and dying - either your own sense of it, or your experiences with it. Join us for an evening of sipping tea, nibbling cake, and connecting with others who want to talk about this difficult topic.
