Memorials and celebrations of life.
A gathering that can happen whenever, and wherever, feels right.
About 2 minutes to read
A memorial gathers people without the body present, often after a cremation. Because nothing has to happen right away, family can take their time and make it personal.
Ways families make it their own
- A favorite place: a restaurant, a park, the family home
- Music and photographs, chosen by the people who knew them best
- Time to share stories, open to anyone who'd like to speak
- A meaningful date, like a birthday or an anniversary
A celebration of life is a memorial with a lighter heart. It can still include prayers, readings, or faith traditions.
In your plan, you’ll decide
- The place, and roughly when
- Music, photographs and readings
- Who hosts, and who’s invited
- Flowers, or donations in your memory
Make it part of your plan.
