Celebration of Life w/Reception (from $4,785)

A Celebration of Life typically occurs after cremation (or burial) has taken place. A Celebration of Life is a memorial event which blends some of the formal elements of a funeral with other informal elements. There may be prayers and shared stories along with tributes and a slide show. It is a time to laugh, cry, and remember a life will lived.  

A Celebration of Life is often followed by a reception.
