Ceremonies for End of Life, Grief, & Closing Times

Meaningful Memorials

Through life review, storytelling, and engaged collaboration, let us craft a meaningful ceremony together that honors your beloved. If you’ve been to a funeral that has left you feeling disconnected or like something (or someone) was missing - know that you’re not alone. We want this to be a space where feelings can be held, not withheld; where the love of the community shines as a ray of support and togetherness, rather than separation. This is how we get there: by creating space for the engaged heart.

Here are some examples of ways we can bring a thoughtful, connected presence into the process:

• Engaged activities such as mandala creation, flower planting, or story sharing in a service of remembrance

• Sharing of their favorite books, music, or movies

• Eating a favorite candy or treat, or giving a toast

• Painting on quilt squares, made with scraps from their tshirt collection

• Opportunities for children & youth of all ages to participate in developmentally-appropriate ways (kids are amazing - let’s talk about this)

Maybe your loved one said “please, no funerals.” Or maybe your loved one is a heavy metal aficionado. Or, they loved to frolick in the garden, chasing fairies. Genuinely: I want to hear all about it, and feel your love emanate. Then, we will create something real & true.
