What is an End of Life Celebration?
An end of life celebration differs from traditional funeral homes somber services by having articles of your loved one placed around the visitation room or wherever you may decide to have a memorial service. These items should be things that the deceased loved and enjoyed doing during their life.
When people come to the memorial or visitation at the funeral services they will be able to see what happy times your loved one had and possible things they enjoyed to do. Some families bring musical instruments that the deceased played, book they enjoyed, items from other hobbies such as fishing, bowling, playing pool, or golf. Other families make short videos of their loved one at happy times in their life and show them during the visitation at the funeral services.
