Ceremonial Celebrant Services
for Memorials, Celebrations of Life, Funerals, & more
You don’t have to do it the way it has always been done.
Honor your loved one with a ceremony that is authentic & meaningful to you.
Meaningful Memorials
How do we honor the spirit of a loved one? Through life review, storytelling, and creative design, let us craft a meaningful life story experience or event together. Here are some ways we can bring thoughtful creativity into the process:
Engaged activities such as mandala creation, flower planting, or creative sharing in a service of remembrance
Age-appropriate conversations & activities for children & youth before or after death
Living Funeral to celebrate a living legacy during end of life
Nontraditional, spiritually diverse or nonreligious ceremony
Designing a beautiful, sacred space for the dying
Memorials for Disenfranchised & Unacknowledged Grief
Remembering beings of all ages (prenatal loss through 100+ years)
Pet, animal, tree, & property memorials
And more
Services
Ceremony Consultation & Writing
If you are:
Hosting a Celebration of Life and are feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or curious about what you might include
Writing a eulogy for your service and would like guidance or a listening ear
Wanting help designing a ritual in private for yourself to remember in your own way
Looking for someone to write parts of the ceremony
I am here to consult, support, & share ideas with you as you craft your own ritual.
Intimate Ceremonies
There are some times when we need a more intimate, specialized ceremony. Maybe you are grieving a prenatal loss, and need someone who will honor this experience in full. Maybe you were unable to be present to a memorial.
Intimate ceremonies allow us to include more individualized services, such as energy healing, flower or massage offerings, creative processing & sharing, & more. They also invite us to go to a place that may be special to you - such as a favorite trail, traverse waters on a boat or at seaside, or sit beneath a beloved tree.
For 1:1 support or small groups.

My Approach
I specialize in engaged, one of a kind ceremonies that are created with your loved one’s uniqueness at the center for all ages. This can be a small ceremony - as small as just you and I - or as large as your loved one’s community expands. Whether choosing a graveside service, a celebration of life, or memorial, this is created in partnership for you & yours.
We might include:
Music that was special to your loved one - anything from the Beatles to Drumming to Classical songs
Meditation, to be with a loved one’s memory
A favorite candy or treat
Spiritual symbols of meaning, such as the earth, moon, or a deity
A toast with their favorite drink
A mural station for memories & expressions
Seed planting
Engaged activities for children
Through meeting together, we will collaborate through life review & creative thinking to craft a memorial that honors your loved with reverence & authenticity.
