About This Site
Organizing a funeral or a memorial service, usually comes at a time when one is least prepared and time is a premium. Grieving families are forced to make frantic, last-minute-decisions they are not prepared to make - from deciding on the type of service, the music, the flowers, to who to notify and how to reach them. All of this happens at a time when getting organized and making decisions it the last thing family members feel capable of.
My Own Story
This website is a result of my own frustration, over the years, in planning the funerals of my loved ones.When my parents passed away, we held the traditional religious funeral. Afterward, however, I felt none of the attendees learned of the special qualities that made each of my parents so special. When it came time for my sister's funeral, who sadly died at far too young an age, from breast cancer, we hunted through books, libraries, and the web, searching for various ideas to include in her celebration of life. "We get no choice. If we love... we grieve." Rather than having to spend hours searching for various ideas, poems, quotes, and music, I have tried to organize a volume of ideas in one place to help you in planning the service for your loved one. Hopefully this site will help you find ways to celebrate and acknowledge the life that was. To show how much that person meant to those of you that are left behind. In developing this site, something else occurred... Visitors to the site wrote me, asking for help with their funeral or memorial planning. "Did I have any ideas for
a funeral service?"
"What about a ceremony for the Scattering of Ashes?"
"Did I have any ideas for designing
the funeral program?"
As a result,working with experts in their field, I have designed premium, creative products that simply are not available elsewhere. The response has been so positive, that I am now working on several additional products that our visitors are asking for. I look forward to rolling them out in the next few months. In addition, if it is important to you - you will learn ways on this site to save thousands of dollars. Recently my eldest brother passed away after a battle with cancer. As aunt, I became the overseer in all the funeral decisions and was able to save his family over $2000 in costs - just from using the information I share with you on this site. There are also ideas on how to reduce the enormous carbon footprint the funeral industry is leaving behind. If there is something you were looking for on our site and didn't find, then click on the link below and ask! I am here to help you. And if you would be generous enough to share how you celebrated the life of your loved one, I would love to share your stories with our future visitors and possibly help them .
