I will work with you to co-create a special ceremony that will honor your loved one and tend to your grief. Whether this is a large ceremony with many people or an intimate ceremony with just a few folks, I will create a comforting and honoring space for your family and friends. These ceremonies can be held indoors, outdoors, virtually, or a combination of any them. Wherever we hold your ceremony, you can rest assured that honoring your loved one’s life will take center stage.

Sometimes the disposition of your loved one’s body takes place at a different time than the Memorial or Celebration of Life. Whether you will be doing a Green Burial in the ground, a Memorial Reef in the sea, or an Ash Scattering in a special place, we can create a ceremony to mark this sacred occasion.

Some folks are choosing to have their Celebration of Life BEFORE the death occurs. We can create a ceremony that celebrates your life, while also saying the tender goodbyes. This can be a beautiful way to see many loved ones before the end of life occurs. This ceremony can take any form you would like. We can co-create any type of ceremony that your heart desires, so that your family and friends can send you off with lots of love.

Unfortunately, miscarriages are a common occurrence. However, this type of loss is not often recognized by the larger society. It is still heart wrenching. It still deserves honor and ceremony. We can co-create a ceremony that honors the dreams, hopes, and love that you had for the life that had been growing inside of you.

Our furry family members can have a deep place in our hearts. When they die, we can feel the loss in profound ways. Our pets have names and personalities that we want to honor after they are gone. We often spend more time with our pets than we do other people in our lives, so the loss is deeply felt. I can help to create a ceremony to honor your fur baby and to honor the loss that you feel after they are gone.

Sometimes a death occurs and it rocks an entire community. Whether it is a small community grieving the loss of a member or a socio-political event that brings folks together in grief, I can create a ceremony that speaks to the power and connection of a community vigil.

Maybe you have always thought about what you want your end of life ceremony to look like. Or, Maybe you just want to take this planning off your loved one’s plate. Whatever your reason is, we can create the ceremony together before you have died. You can choose the songs and readings and colors that will help your loved ones communally grieve after you are gone. I will work to understand your life and how you want to celebrate it.

When the date arrives for the anniversary of a death, loved ones can be riddled with anxiety and heartache. Your body can feel the grief deep inside. I can help you create a Death Anniversary Ceremony to honor your loved one and help carry you through the difficult day.

This is a “re-do” for those who need more closure…Maybe you couldn’t be present at the original Ceremony? Maybe you were a child during the original Ceremony and don’t remember it? Maybe the original funeral did not connect with your heart? Unfortunately, I often hear the story that a loved one’s original funeral was conducted in an impersonal way, which can leave you wanting a new ceremony to connect with your grief and the spirit of your loved one. For any reason, I can help you to celebrate your loved one again.
