A celebration of life focuses on the life someone lived: their stories, their passions and the people they loved. It can be joyful and tearful at the same time. Call any hour: (718) 424-2000.
Celebration of life or funeral?
A funeral often follows religious or traditional customs. A celebration of life is usually more relaxed and personal, and can take place after a burial or cremation. Many families combine the two, and there’s no wrong choice.
Ideas families use
- A playlist of the person’s favorite music
- Photos from across their life
- Friends and family sharing stories
- Their favorite colors or flowers
- A memory book or cards for guests to write in
