Funerals & Memorials
A funeral or memorial is a sacred time for family and friends to say a final, loving goodbye to their loved one. I collaborate with the family to compose a personal, memorable tribute that expresses who their loved one was, includes their last wishes, what they did in their lives, what they believed, whom/what they loved, and what they meant to their family, friends, and co-workers. Officiated with care and compassion, the personalized funeral or memorial ceremony is a deeply meaningful experience.

Celebrations of Life
A Celebration of Life ceremony is for a person whom, facing the end of their life, would like to celebrate their own life in a ceremony with family and friends. This can be a profoundly connecting and healing experience for all. It is an opportunity to gather together while that person is still alive - to honor the life they have lived, to express love and gratitude, to share laughter and tears, to bestow a living legacy, to be honest about grief and saying goodbye. It can help the person who is passing to have a sense of control over the remainder of their life, to use their creativity to express this important final phase, and to have a sense of completion.

Pet Funerals
Loving, playful, faithful friends, enthusiastic members of our families, adoring companions; our pets are an important part of our lives. Losing a pet can be as painful as losing a human family member. A funeral for a pet - much like a human funeral - honors that pet's life and the meaningful role they played in their owner's lives. It gives the pet a dignified and loving interment.
