How to Plan a Personalized Celebration of Life

You know how important this event is, but there’s a good chance it’s extremely unknown territory. Let our expert advice help you wade through the basics—and create something special for your loved one. 

The pressure of planning a celebration of someone’s entire life, for all who have known and loved them, is weighty enough without factoring in the myriad emotions surrounding the affair. It’s not easy to make big decisions while you yourself are mired in sorrow and grief and yet we know how important this funeral/memorial/gathering is…and how much you want to get it right. 

There is so much information out there on the internet that it can be overwhelming on the best of days. From figuring out how much things cost to deciding how you can best represent your loved one’s life in ways big and small, we’ve spoken to experts who can help guide you on this journey. If your person left explicit instructions, then you certainly have a wonderful framework to begin your planning. And if they didn’t, remember that you can only do your best to stay authentic to what you think they (and their family and friends) would want. 

As with all things surrounding loss, try not to be too hard on yourself as you wade through the coming days and use all the resources at your disposal.
