What is a Celebration of Life Service?
Every day we hear stories about how people are struggling to find meaningful ways to honor their loved one.  We can help you plan a Celebration of Life gathering that is as unique as your loved one's life. 

A Celebration of Life service sets aside time for family, co-workers and friends to celebrate the personality and accomplishments of someone you loved. And, it gives comfort and support to those left behind.

Our chapel provides a perfect setting for services with 175 or less in attendance.  We can also go off-location and facilitate a service at a local church, or at a location of your choice.
