Rather than a traditional funeral or memorial service, many people find that a "life celebration ceremony" is more in tune with the wishes, beliefs, and values of a loved one that has passed away. In essence, a life celebration ceremony is a joyous occasion that centers on the life that the loved one lived and the indelible mark that he or she left on those who knew him or her best. ©

There are no "rules" on what the ceremony may or may not include, but here is a possible sequence of events:

• Officiant opens with a welcome to the family and friends.
• Officiant describes the ceremony and how it aligns with the wishes of the family and/or the loved one. (ie. "...had a very specific requirement,  ... asked that we be joyful and let this be a time of celebration." 
• (if applicable) Officiant describes how she or he knew the loved one or was chosen to officiate the ceremony.
• Friends and family members are asked to come forward and share a humorous or uplifting story ... or perhaps some little known fact about the loved one. (Woven together these anecdotes may paint the picture of a life that few if any were ever aware of in total.)
• A reading and/or favorite poem may be included at any point in the ceremony. It may be read by the officiant or a friend or family member.
• A slide show representing a panorama of the loved one's life is shown. The slide show may also be accompanied by music ... perhaps one or more of the loved one's favorites.
• Officiant ends with a closing comment and (if applicable) an invitation for the guests to attend a reception.

A Life Celebration Ceremony is an uplifting, warm and joyous occasion. We honor the loved one and their families by our presence, remembrances spoken and unspoken. The loved one is with us in spirit and will live on in every remembrance each of us have every single day. ©
