What is a Life Celebration?

A Life Celebration is...

...the soft notes of a piano playing a favorite song as a life-long friend lights a candle in remembrance to a life well-lived.

...the ritual of family and friends coming forward, as the memorial service ends, to place their touch on the urn of a beloved brother, partner and friend.

...the sound of a familiar song played from long ago, Lollipops and Roses, when a couple first fell in love, with lollipops placed in with the roses that lay upon the casket and more lollipops and roses handed out as keepsakes to those attending the service.

A Life Celebration can be...

a Living Memorial � celebrating the life of a loved one while they are able to participate.

a Memorial Service � held at a beach, park, golf course, zoo, home, church or just about anywhere and may or may not include the cremated remains of your loved one.

a Funeral Service � more conventional in nature the body and casket is present. It is typically held in a church or chapel but may be held in any public space.

a Home Funeral Service � more intimate in setting. The body is present and may include ritual or ceremony. It can be as simple or elaborate as the family may chose.

a Graveside Service � held at a cemetery for the burial of your loved one�s casket or urn, or the placement of their urn in a niche wall.
