Celebration of Life and/or Memorial Services provide a stable, loving and caring ritual in a non-formal, non religious environment and brings peace to what can be a chaotic situation.

There are no rules when it comes these services, literally anything goes!

Services can be held anywhere – a hotel, a golf course, a community hall, a funeral home or a personal residence.

Was your loved one a golfer?  Invite guests to wear a golf shirt.

A fisherman? Create a display using rods, reels, hooks and nets.

A hockey/baseball/basketball player? Create a display of jerseys, equipment, trophies, again invite guests to wear a sports jersey.

Celebrants will meet with family members and gather information about the deceased’s life and create a service that will honour your loved one in a professional and caring manner.

They will also make recommendations with respect to music, poetry or readings based on the deceased’s interests and lifestyle.
