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 answer and carry out the what, when, where, how, and who of this event.

 

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

  • obituary
  • donations to charities
