What is a Celebration of Life?

If you have decided a traditional funeral isn’t for you, but you don’t want your loved ones passing to go unmarked, a Celebration of Life is the perfect solution.

Select a date, decide on the number of people you want to invite and whether you want an informal buffet-style event or a sit-down meal. Perhaps you’d prefer canapes and a few glasses of bubbles - whatever you decide is the right we can help.

We book the venue, arrange the staffing, and offer choices of catering that suit your budget. One of our preferred celebrants will be in touch to get a genuine feel for the person you are celebrating and to ensure the tone is personal and tailored to you.

Once the details are arranged the invitations, whether digital or postal, will be designed and printed for you to post. The order of service and perhaps a take-home gift will be created. These details will be discussed in depth.

The venue will be decorated to your brief, with large format photos and personal touches that make the event feel warm and joyful even though it is still a sad day you are marking.

We can arrange live music or help you with a playlist.

The real beauty of a Celebration of Life is that you are under no time pressure like you are with a traditional funeral. You have time to make choices, not just go with what is easiest at your hardest time. There is still a lot to organise, which is why we are an ideal option to take the pressure off you so you really can Celebrate the life of your loved one.
