Ceremony

As both the funeral celebrant & funeral director, my purpose is to guide you in crafting a farewell that is profoundly meaningful and authentically yours.

We will co-create a ceremony (be it a funeral, living wake, or memorial) that truly reflects the life and wishes of you and your loved ones.

Costs depend on your unique needs; the following ideas serve as starting points for our discussion.
