Your Story, Your Wishes

One day, the people you love will gather to celebrate your life.

Imagine giving them the comfort of knowing they're honoring your wishes, hearing your stories, and celebrating your life exactly as you hoped they would.

That's one of the most loving gifts you can leave behind.

Because no one can tell your story better than you.

Most people prearrange the practical details of their funeral.

Very few have the opportunity to prepare the most personal part of all...

The story that will be told.

Your Celebration of Life should sound like you.

It should reflect your personality, your faith, your values, your humor, the people you loved, and the moments that defined your life.

Together, we'll preserve those memories, giving your family the priceless gift of clarity, comfort, and peace of mind.

You won't simply be planning a ceremony.

We'll meet in the comfort of your home or at my office, wherever you feel most comfortable.

There are no forms to complete.

No speeches to prepare.

Just coffee, conversation, and your story.

We'll laugh.

We'll reflect.

We'll remember.

We'll talk about the people who shaped your life, the lessons you've learned, the adventures you've had, and the legacy you hope to leave.

Together, we'll explore:

✔ Your childhood and earliest memories

✔ The people who influenced your life

✔ Your family and lifelong friendships

✔ Your career and accomplishments

✔ Your faith and personal values

✔ The lessons you've learned

✔ The challenges you've overcome

✔ The traditions you cherish

✔ Your favorite stories

✔ Music, scripture, poems, or readings you'd like included

✔ How you'd like your life remembered

There is no rush.

This is your opportunity to celebrate a life well lived while creating one final gift for the people you love.

After getting to know you and hearing the stories that matter most, I'll thoughtfully write your Celebration of Life in a warm, personal storytelling style.

The story of your life, beautifully written in a ceremony that reflects who you are and the impact you've had on the people who love you.

Every ceremony is written specifically for you.

Together, we'll create something your family will treasure forever.

Your Celebration of Life captures the story of your life.

Your Legacy Collection is more than a ceremony.

It's a thoughtfully prepared collection of your story, your wishes, and your voice—created while you're here and treasured when you're gone.

Your Legacy Collection includes:

✔ Personal storytelling session(s) in your home or my office

✔ A professionally written Celebration of Life ceremony

✔ Your opportunity to review and approve every word

✔ A personalized obituary

✔ Beautifully printed keepsake copy

✔ Digital copy for your family

✔ Optional prepayment available

Before your Celebration of Life is finalized, you'll receive your completed ceremony to review.

You'll have the opportunity to:

✔ Add stories or memories

✔ Make changes or corrections

✔ Include favorite scriptures, music, poems, or readings

✔ Ensure every detail reflects your wishes

Nothing is finalized until you're completely comfortable with every word.

Included with your Legacy Collection is a personalized Obituary, thoughtfully written from the stories and memories we've already shared together.

Because we've spent time reflecting on your life, your family, and the people who matter most to you, much of the work has already been done.

When the time comes, your loved ones simply update:

✔ Date of passing

✔ Surviving family members

✔ Service information

Everything else has already been thoughtfully written and is ready when they need it most.

One more loving gift.

One less difficult task for the people you love.

Once your Celebration of Life has been thoughtfully written and approved, the choice is yours.

Optional Celebrant Services — $200

If you'd like, I'd be honored to serve as your celebrant or minister, delivering the ceremony we created together.

Because I've spent time getting to know you, your family, your faith, and your story, I can share your Celebration of Life exactly as it was meant to be told, with warmth, compassion, and authenticity.

This service may also be prepaid.

Already have a pastor, priest, rabbi, family member, or another officiant in mind?

Simply share your completed ceremony with the officiant of your choice.

They'll receive a professionally written Celebration of Life that reflects your story and your wishes, allowing them to lead the service while honoring you exactly as you intended.

The choice is always yours.

✔ Your story is told in your own words.

✔ Your ceremony is written and approved while you're here.

✔ Your family won't have to guess your wishes.

✔ Your loved ones can focus on remembering you instead of making difficult decisions.

✔ Your ceremony reflects your faith, your values, and the life you've lived.

✔ A personalized obituary is included as part of your Legacy Collection.

✔ Your obituary is approximately 95% complete, requiring only final updates when the time comes.

✔ Your Legacy Collection may be prepaid, relieving your family of both emotional and financial burdens.

✔ Choose Heather as your celebrant or share your ceremony with the officiant of your choice.

✔ Your family receives the peace of knowing they're honoring your wishes exactly as you intended.
