Celebration of Life

A celebration of life is a personal farewell focused on memories, stories, music, family, and the life lived.

It may be religious, non-religious, spiritual, or led by a civil celebrant or humanist celebrant. It can take place before burial or cremation, after cremation, or at a later date.

What Can Be Included

A celebration of life may include:

  • Personal stories and memories
  • Favourite music
  • Readings, poems, or reflections
  • Photographs or a memory table
  • A slideshow or video tribute
  • Symbols connected to the person’s life
  • Words from family and friends
  • A less formal gathering afterwards

A Personal Farewell

A celebration of life can be simple, gentle, joyful, reflective, or deeply quiet. We will help you shape the service in a way that feels right for your family.
