Celebration of Life
I am offering bereaved families, relatives and close friends secular funeral services and life-celebration services. The celebrations can be held soon after the funeral or at a later stage, for example, on the departed's birthday, or any other date of significance to them. These events have many names: a celebration of life, a memorial, a wake, a farewell, a sendoff, a free-for-all committal, etc. I can help with these. [Read More...]
