Funerals & Memorials
Losing a family member is often one of the most difficult events in our lives. As we experience this, we want to commemorate our loved ones with a ceremony that respectfully honors and celebrates their life. We hope for a memorial that will be a personal reflection of their life. I officiate at Funerals and Memorials, treating this significant life event with dignity and respect for the deceased and for family and friends. We don’t always get that from traditional funerals and funeral homes. Let me help you create a memorable, personable event.
Memorial Tributes
A memorial tribute is a brief story of the deceased life including memories, anecdotes and interests. A short written tribute can be prepared as a meaningful way to help those at the service both grieve and celebrate the deceased life.
