Funeral Guidance

Funeral Guidance

Death Style

Plan the ideal celebration of your own life or the life of a loved one at the time and the place of your choosing.  We can help you plan and carry out the what, when, where, how, and who of this event.  Contact us for more information or to schedule a meeting on Zoom or in person.

 

It is always helpful to plan ahead…. and record your own wishes…. for the benefit of those who have decisions to make and carry out following your death.  As you can imagine, there are numerous questions that might be asked including, (but not limited to)….

 

  • location and timing of funeral/memorial service/celebration of life
  • transport of body
  • rituals, ceremonies to be used
  • preceptor
  • food & drink
  • flowers
  • music
  • eulogies
  • pall bearers
  • guest list
  • obituary
  • donations to charities
  • disposal of body – cremation, burial, other

Or you may want to consider a Living Funeral Celebration…. which you can plan and attend BEFORE you die.  However, listening to your own eulogies carries risk!
