Dignity Memorial® planners are celebration of life experts. We plan more celebrations each year than any other provider, and we know just what to do to create a uniquely beautiful and heartfelt tribute with attention to detail like no other. What is a celebration of life? A celebration of life tells a very special story. It’s a thoughtfully planned event that highlights a loved one’s unique personality, passions, gifts and accomplishments. It may unfold as a lively party or a relaxed gathering. It can be big and bold, simple and sweet, or somewhere in between. Its heart lies in each intentionally selected element—from music and messages to unique design, food, memorialization and more. With care and creativity, a celebration of life showcases the details that make a person unique and gives guests a time and place to come together and reflect. We are celebration of life planning experts. When planning a celebration of life, your imagination is the only limit. You may want to start by thinking about your loved one: what they enjoyed, what others enjoyed about them, what they were proud of, what they were best known for, how they liked to spend their time, where they liked to go. These details may inform where you hold the event, what foods you serve and what music you choose. Before you even do that, however, you may want to reach out to a Dignity Memorial planner. We provide celebration of life planning from beginning to end. We can help your family choose a venue, pick a theme and decide on flowers. Then we arrange catering, decorate, and order keepsakes and programs. Your personalized experience is our standard of care. We believe that every family deserves the opportunity to create a personalized experience that reflects the individual being honored. That’s why every family who entrusts us with their loved one’s service can expect an event that includes: Meaningful music Cherished memories A personalized message Meaningful music Families are surprised to learn that we can play any songs they’d like or a different playlist for every aspect of the celebration. cherished memories A curated display of photographs and keepsakes invites family and friends to remember special moments and defining details. The staff was so comforting throughout the entire process and made beautiful unique touches that we did not expect, such as guitar pics throughout the front entrance because my brother was an amazing guitarist. They also allowed us to bring guitars that they put around rope next to his casket. Those little details really touched our hearts. The cards with the poem and pictures were beautifully done. —NICK R.

Imagine: A Memorial Inspiration Guide No two of us are alike, and each one of us deserves a memorial service that is a true reflection of our life. Whether planning for yourself in advance or for a loved one right now, we can help you arrange every aspect of a life celebration. When can you hold a celebration of life? That’s up to you. Families tell us that they love that the timing for a celebration of life is flexible and needn’t depend on a loved one’s burial or cremation. Though many celebrations take place right before or right after these events, others take place days, weeks or even months afterward. Even families who choose very traditional funeral services may opt to hold more celebratory gatherings afterward. When deciding when to hold a celebration of life, a family might consider factors like travel schedules, existing commitments, or significant cultural or community events that held meaning for their loved one. Whatever the decision, the date and time of a celebration can be planned to suit your family’s needs, and we’re available to plan a celebration shortly after a death or for any point in the future. A celebration of life brings people together to honor your loved one. With an emphasis on the good times, happy memories and joyous moments, a celebration of life brings friends and family together in an uplifting and supportive setting where conversation, laughter, hugs and tears are welcome. It serves a dual purpose: to honor a loved one and give guests a meaningful—and memorable—opportunity to share stories and comfort one another. A celebration of life is both a beautiful final tribute and a chance for healing. Our flexible funeral homes are perfect celebration of life venues. A celebration of life can be held just about anywhere. Families choose sports venues, beaches, places of worship, community centers, even their own backyards.
