End of Life Tributes / Memorials
There are no adequate words to describe how we feel when we lose a loved one. There are some things we do know, however: that we want to honor and celebrate their life with dignity and respect; and that we want to mark their passing with a sincere and meaningful tribute to them.
As your Celebrant my mission is to provide you and your family some comfort in knowing your loved one will have a ceremony that reflects his or her wishes, beliefs, cultural background and values – religious or non-religious. I focus on the life that was lived, carefully composing a customized and meaningful ceremony. I impose nothing on you, but instead collaborate with you, the family, and friends of the deceased. The words I deliver will express and celebrate the life of the person who has died. I know that nothing can take away the grief you feel, but a genuine and well-prepared tribute may ease some of your pain.

Pre-Need Testimonial
"Because we have no family living
near us, we wanted to prepare a memorial service now so that our
children would not be burdened with last minute preparations at
such a difficult time.
Cheri was a pleasure to work
with. She had many valuable suggestions, listened to our
thoughts, and was able to transform our wishes."

Animal Companion Loss
People need to grieve the loss of their pets because their animal companions are also a part of their family. Having a memorial service for your animal gives you a space to openly express your feelings of loss as well as enables you to pay tribute to the joy your pet has given to you in his or her life.
If you choose to have a service to honor your animal companion, I will provide you the same care and attention I give to those who have lost their human loved ones. Together we can create a ceremony that reflects the spirit of your animal as well as pay homage to their impact in your life.
