A Celebration of Life is designed to mark the passing of a loved one in a personalized meaningful way. It honours an individual's life rather rather than their death and gathers family, friends and colleagues to celebrate and acknowledge the persons’ legacy with unique, personal touches. In the creation of a Celebration of Life Plan, we work with you to design your own event, it is an opportunity for you to make decisions, have control of all of the details and create the celebration legacy you hope for. It can be a reflection of how you lived your life and can provide an opportunity to tell your story in your own way.
A Celebration of Life is usually held apart from a traditional funeral or religious ceremony. It can be an alternative for families seeking a less traditional farewell. You can decide if you would prefer an intimate, quiet affair for family and friends or a large public gathering. Regardless of size, A Celebration of Life can provide an opportunity for your friends and family to socialize, mourn, honour and support one another. It can be held days, weeks or even months after you have passed.
A Celebration of Life Plan that you create also provides an opportunity for your friends and families to come together to support the living while honouring your life. When friends and family experience the death of a loved one gathering to share the loss can be an important part of the grieving process, it can also uplift the spirits of those who attend. In sharing our stories and personal moments it can help those remaining to reflect and move forward. A Celebration of Life can create new memories and we can help all to gather strength and comfort.
In pre-planning your Celebration of Life we will help you to create a road map for your family to ensure that there are no questions that they forgot to ask regarding your last wishes. Your family can be confident that the Celebration of Life is a reflection of your wishes and it may help family members avoid possible conflicts if the arrangements and decisions are made ahead of time and not in a moment of crisis.

We will help you create a unique event that can assist your family and friends grieve while honouring you. We will be fully committed to do what ever we can to create a Celebration of Life Plan that is meaningful and reflective of your wishes.
