Event Details

Contemplating the end of your life can evoke various emotions. Yet, finding peace in knowing your final wishes are understood can bring reassurance and comfort to you and your loved ones. Join us for a three-part workshop series designed to shed light on what is often considered a dark topic: Funeral & Legacy Planning.

Session 2: Celebrating Your Life: Planning Your Last Party

Your life is a story worth celebrating. Join us for an interactive session where we envision how you'd like to be remembered. From the location and atmosphere to the music and mementos, we'll help you craft a celebration that truly reflects your spirit.

Key Discussion Points:

  • Celebration venues: home, church, park, or other locations
  • Ceremony details: officiants, music, readings, attire preferences
  • Leaving a legacy: memorial options, supporting causes, creating lasting memories

Join us for these enlightening workshops as we explore the profound journey of funeral and legacy planning. Together, let's illuminate the path towards peace, preparation, and profound remembrance. Be sure to join us for Session 1: Honoring Your Essence: Exploring Burial Options and Session 3: Preparing for the Journey: End-of-Life Planning Essentials.
