Get on the Wait List for groups!
I will interview you to hear stories and meanings of the relationships you had with your loved one. I will also listen for what is important to you regarding family traditions, religious traditions, values, and intent. We will create a service that reflects love, loss, the gifts given by your loved one, family, and solemnity.

Thinking about a memorial service can be overwhelming. Having a minister there can take the pressure off, provide you with the wisdom of experience, and create a space that can hold your grief and your memories of your loved one. Each memorial service is unique to the people creating it and the person it is in honor of. We can create one from scratch or use a template or a combination of the two. Typically we will talk together a few days before the service. You will create the order of service based on the service that we create. You will choose how memories will be shared/eulogy. We will meet together 15 minutes before the service to become centered and have some private time. The minister will operate as a "master of ceremonies" throughout the service so that you do not need to think about logistics. The minister will check in with you after the service and leave while you and your family and friends experience the reception. A typical memorial service runs up to 1 hour.
If you would like to work with me on a memorial service I'll need some information from you.
(feel free to e-mail to me, or call me with the info, or provide it at the family meeting that we will have before the service.)
