Find a Life Celebrations/Funeral Coordination Provider:
There is a growing demand for innovative funeral services in the form of Life Celebrations. The essence of a Life Celebration is its keen focus on an uplifting celebration of the loved one’s life. Inspiration and gratitude for a life well lived are at the heart of the service. Life Celebration planners work with the family to customize a memorial service and reception that are tailored to the esprit and persona of their loved one. Sometimes more secular, and often using an inventive, highly personalized theme, a Life Celebration service can be more celebratory in nature than a traditional funeral service. In the case of terminal illness, the loved one may wish to have a Life Celebration before their passing, embracing their gratitude for life and love in a party atmosphere, surrounded by their family and dearest friends.
