Celebration of Life

To plan a Celebration of Life / Memorial service separate to the actual funeral gives you the space and time to reflect.

With our gentle guidance, we help you to think about how to personalise your goodbye so that it connects with the life lived.

A Celebration of Life can take place the same day of the cremation or burial, or at any other time of your choosing.

Celebration of Life

For when a traditional funeral service typically spoken within 30 minutes does not feel a representative way to say farewell

  • Planning a Celebration of Life at a later date to the funeral, gives you time to reflect, rather than letting the death itself be the final memory
  • Family and friends can actively get involved, becoming part of the occasion
  • Sharing anecdotes, reciting poetry, performing songs, slideshows and videos can all personalise the ceremony

How we can help plan your Celebration of Life service?

Online announcements with RSVP… We can create an online page with an online RSVP so you can easily manage invitations with reply notifications arriving in your inbox, and a spreadsheet with your guest list before the event.

Celebrant… whether you need just an MC or for more involvement, we work with a talented team of celebrants and can make a suitable recommendation

Venue… Our website has a list of local venues, the booking would be made direct by you

Catering… once we know your location, we can make a recommendation if required.

Slideshows… When you have a number of photos you would like making into a beautiful slideshow, we can do this for you.

Videos from photos… An alternative to a slideshow is when we can make a storytelling video from your photo collection, a really special way to captivate the room, without you having to say too much yourself.

Stationery… From simple invitation cards, to a one page order of service to a booklet, there are many simple creative ways we can help you to plan and enjoy personalised stationery

Live Streaming… When you have family and friends in different locations around the world – we can organise live-streaming for you

Florists… our talented local florist can create beautiful arrangements if needed

To help pull the different elements together there is a £750 fee + additional charges
