My SpecialtyLiving Funerals/ Living Wakes/ Farewell Celebration/ End of Life Celebration/ WeddingsI have had the honor to meet some remarkable patients and their families through my volunteer work at the Denver Hospice. Through my years of experience, I have recognized a need for the terminally ill that has been much over-looked. Living funerals. Exactly what it sounds like is what it is! A celebration of life for those who are terminally ill or advanced in age, but very much alive! These celebrations are much like a funeral, except now the honoree is living and present to hear the eulogies and stories being shared by friends, family, neighbors and colleagues. Another distinct difference with a living funeral it the over-all tone of the celebration. Anything goes at a Living Funeral; stories, tears, laughter, applause... love! End of life celebrations may be simple or elaborate, public or private, joyful or heartfelt… they are as unique as the individual being honored.For further reading on living funerals: http://ourlifecelebrations.com/2012/04/living-funeral-the-grandest-life-celebration/https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/25/world/canada/euthanasia-bill-john-shields-death.html?smid=fb-share&_r=0 Show less
