Funerals are off trend. Life celebrations are on trend.
The entrepreneur. The philanthropist. The activist. The family man/woman.
When a loved one passes, we want to remember that person for what they contributed, what they meant to us. We want to smile and remember the good times when we think of him or her.
So often, we attend funerals in a typical funeral home or church – where a minister or officiant – who knew very little about a loved one – speaks on the mourning families’ behalf. Hymns are played and the focus is on the pain of the loss. Family members scramble to put together a slide show of images that reflect who that person was. These photographic slideshows appear on funeral websites and lack the emotion that only video storytelling can bring.
Traditional funerals have a place for families. We honor that. Life celebrations are for families looking to be uplifted, to be inspired and to remember their loved one for all they have contributed. Articles are emerging on how millennials favor life celebrations. What once was a just catch phrase, is becoming a reality.
Life celebrations are actually afterlife celebrations– events that bring family, friends and associates together to celebrate and commemorate a life in an uplifting, positive way.
Imagine a custom designed event that is personalized to an individual – music playlists that inspired a life, stories that bring context to who that person actually was, a celebratory setting befitting of that specific individual that take place in a park, garden, marina, dock, back yard, or an event space rich with décor. This event would feature favorite cocktails, inspiring sayings, live performances and more.
These events are fully customized and preplanned.
We design the theme, event experiences and overall messaging with each individual client to ensure the family has explicit plans in writing. We can also execute the event for the family when the time comes.
