Here at Celebrate My Life we offer both before and after-death celebration of life planning ideas and tips. Typical funerals can be intimidating and emotionally draining for everyone involved. It is our belief that a life shoud not be mourned but instead celebrated and that final memories are to be positive and ever-lasting. We believe there is no greater gift than a gathering of close friends and loved ones who wish to come together and honor the special person in their lives. This is a time where stories are told laughter is in the air and with misty eyes everyone shares their fondest memories of their loved one.
Everyone deals with death and grief in their own way and because of that we have plenty of information to help inform you on the different types of services out there to help honor you loved one. Aside from celebration of life events; there are also funerals, cremations, visitations, memorial services, etc. We have lightly touched on each of those topics to help give you a general idea of what is out there. We have also compiled a simple checklist here to help you remember everything that needs to be done in the first days following the death of a loved one. The best gift you can give your loved ones is having a general plan in place for what your final wishes would be. Many people today already have their funerals planned out from where they want it to be held, what music they want played to who they want to be officiating. Whether your looking for ideas on your own funeral planning or your planning for a loved one you will find plenty of useful information here. Feel free to message us here with any questions or comments you might have.
There are different types of life celebrations that you may have, the first one being where the person being honored is still living. Imagine a gathering where when the speaker finishes telling their story and they are able to then hug the person being honored. How rewarding would it be that the person being honored is given the gift of knowing how much of a difference they truly have made in another's life. This can have such a positive effect on all the parties involved. When the time finally comes for the funeral everyone can say goodbye with the knowledge that their loved one knew exactly how people felt about them while they were here. This helps to bring closure to everyone involved and can be the best gift a person can give those they love.
There are also celebrations of life that be can planned to take place after someone has passed away. This can be done around the same time as the funeral or at at a later date in time. The reason people sometime choose is a later date is usually in times where the death was sudden or unexpected and the family wasn't able to all come together due to outside circumstances. This way we can still honor them for all the things they have given us and shared with us when everyone is able to be there. When a person's life has ended we like to hold onto what they have meant to us. The gathering of all things dear to them keep us close and feeling bonded to each other. It is an important part of the grieving process and its natural to have a desire for that closure.
