PLANNING A
CELEBRATION OF LIFE
Losing a loved one is never easy. We understand that death can be an overwhelming time. It is our mission to make the memorial process gentle and unique to you and your loved ones.
Coming together with friends and loved ones for a memorial service is one of the ways we, through community, can honor the life lived. Increasingly many are choosing alternatives to a templated funeral service.
A celebration of life focuses on the personality and impact of your loved one’s life. The memorial builds in moments of joy fueled by remembrance of the happiness they brought to others.
If you are thinking of planning such an event for a loved one in the greater Seattle area, we would be honored to assist.
You have options when it comes to honoring your loved ones' life.
We know it can feel like a whirlwind of decisions when a loved one passes away. One of those decisions includes how to gather friends and family to remember and memorialize your person.
While modern traditional funerals are still a popular choice, you can also consider a cultural ceremony or celebration of life outside of a funeral home. Without a funeral director a celebration of life can seem like a daunting event to organize. That is why we offer professional end of life planning services.
If you call us before or within 48 hours of a loved one's passing, we can also assist with end of life preparations.

Once the death has been registered and your loved one has been transported to the funeral home, cremation facility, or Recompose facility of your choice it is time to plan the memorial.
