“What we leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.”
— Pericles
Honoring Lives Through Ceremony
Saying goodbye to someone who has died is one of the hardest things we do in life.
But it’s important.
And how a family designs this ritual can make a big difference in the healing process.
A person’s life story is a sacred thing, so I feel privileged to be a Certified Funeral Celebrant–a life tribute professional who helps families during their time of loss, specifically by planning a funeral service that is personalized to reflect the personality and life-style of the deceased.
In this role, I sit with family members to share memories, recall special moments, and hear anecdotes about the deceased to help develop a meaningful service, whether it be a funeral and/or graveside service, or a scattering of ashes ceremony.
We will work together to create a secular memorial but religious texts and/or songs can certainly be included if they’re desired. I invite family members to be thoughtful and creative while maintaining sensitivity to how intense the grief journey can be.
I am passionate about honoring the deceased with deep reverence and holding space for the bereaved, and I welcome the opportunity to support families in remembering their loved one’s spirit with distinction and grace.
