We hold funerals after a loved one dies, but the event is not really about their death. It’s a tribute to their life and the lives they touched. Families and friends come together to support each other. Memories are shared. Toasts are raised. Tears and laughter are welcome in equal measure as a community gathers to say goodbye to someone they’ve lost.

Whether you’re holding a memorial service, a celebration of life gathering, or a traditional funeral with personalized touches, a ceremony should reflect the life it’s memorializing. What this means and how this looks will vary from person to person.

It could be:

• Playing their favorite songs (even if they’re not what you’d think of for “funeral music”)
• Serving their favorite dishes or snacks at the reception
• Displaying a photo memory board or video of moments from their lives
• Releasing balloons, doves, floating lanterns, etc.
• Asking guests to donate to a particular charity instead of giving flowers
• Sending guests home with wildflower seeds or a sapling to plant in honor of the deceased

You can call us any time at 303.745.4418. or contact us online to begin planning a memorial for a loved one or even preplan arrangements for yourself. We believe there is true power in a community coming together to grieve and celebrate, and we are honored to help create those moments of healing for families in the Denver area.
