Details

My professional “calling” is to create End of Life Tributes/ Celebrations for the dying. Also known as “Living Funerals”.  Living funerals offer a unique opportunity for not only the guest of honor to share life stories, but for others to share stories, thoughts, quotes, poems about how the guest of honor has impacted their life.  Tributes can be intimate or large and held at any type of venue.

I interview the guest of honor and any family/ friends they desire to be present. I compile my notes into a professionally crafted ceremony to include wonderful stories, poems, quotes, music, etc.  The guest of honor has the final approval of the celebration.  I then officiate the celebration and provide a beautiful ceremony keepsake.

Other examples of legacy projects include: audio/ video interviews, letters, memory boxes/books, mementos, seasonal: holidays, ornaments, memorial gardens, anniversaries etc.

I am also a member of Rocky Mountain Life-Cycle Celebrants, a collective of celebrants certified by the Celebrant Foundation & Institute.
