About This Site

This website is a result of my own frustration in planning the funerals of my loved ones.

When my parents passed away, we held the traditional religious funeral. Afterwards, 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.

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.

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 will help you find ways to celebrate and acknowledge the life that was. To show how much that person meant to those of us that are left behind.

And if you would like to share with us, how you remembered your beloved, please do so. Your Loved One

I hope I have been able to help you with your service.
