What’s included with a Living Farewell?

  • No Obligation Consultation

    We offer a complimentary 20 minute phone consultation to ensure we fully understand your wishes and can meet your service needs.

  • Planning Meeting

    During a two-hour planning session, we delve into your vision for a Living Farewell, discussing guest lists, event dynamics, and the desired ambiance. Creating the perfect atmosphere is a top priority for us, making in-person or video chat meetings the most effective way to plan this event.

  • Guest Invitations

    Because the need for a living funeral can happen quickly, notifying guests so they have plenty of time to prepare is important. We offer diverse options for crafting heartfelt invitations that can be delivered quickly, and we handle any inquiries guests may have and diligently follow up on any missing RSVPs to ensure a smooth event.

  • Communication

    Upon receiving invitations, guests often reach out with inquiries and well-intentioned curiosity. While the family appreciates the care and concern, managing this volume of communication can become overwhelming. With the client's consent, we can assist in sharing specific event details and addressing guest questions, thus relieving the family of this responsibility.

  • Hosting

    Our utmost priority is ensuring the comfort of the honored individual and creating the desired ambiance for the event. It's a customary practice for our hosts to warmly welcome guests upon their arrival, allowing the family to enjoy quality time with loved ones. Having a host at the entrance can also assist with addressing any last-minute queries. We are here to seamlessly integrate our services according to your preferences, whether you wish us to be deeply involved or take a more hands-off approach.

  • Guided Activities

    Designed to facilitate the recollection, sharing, and strengthening of treasured memories, our guided activities are customized to align seamlessly with your event. Each activity is meticulously designed to evoke authentic emotions and serves as a means to create a lasting legacy project for future generations.

  • Catering (optional)

    At a Living Farewell, light refreshments are typically served because the event's main focus is creating an environment where people feel comfortable talking, mingling, and sharing. However, we all know that we bond over food because it has a unique ability to bring people together, and oftentimes friends & family will want to plan a potluck of favorite dishes as an act of love. Our catering services are available at your discretion to enhance your menu or we can take care of all the catering for you.

  • Photographer (optional)

    In addition to capturing your own photos and videos on personal devices, a professional photographer can elevate your Living Farewell experience by providing candid, emotionally resonant photographs that capture the essence of the day. Alternatively, you may opt for a professional legacy family photo session to create a cherished keepsake.
