Outside-the-Box Options

Yes, the time eventually comes to acknowledge, commemorate, and/or celebrate the life of a loved one. But what if there’s not a “standard” way of doing things that fits your idea of a truly “meaningful” experience? What if a funeral is too formal, and a celebration of life is not quite your thing? While it is true nobody wants to think about organizing “the last event” for somebody’s life, even more true it is that nobody wants to live with regrets.



The following ideas may seem whacky or even irreverent to some. But for those who want to say good bye in a different way, or with a “different kind of funeral,” we have the know-how to help you create an experience that is most “meaningful” for you.

  • Meet and talk (in our Café or Reception Room)
