Ash scatterings and memorial plantings

“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying good-bye so hard.” Anon.

Active ceremonies give people personal and dynamic ways to “work things through”, to honour, grieve, and share, both through an intentional ceremony design process and a meaningful delivery. Through actions and words, I’ll work with you to say farewell in a fitting fashion.

Ash scatterings: Many people tell me that they have kept the ashes of a loved one because they don’t know how to scatter them in a meaningful way. Perhaps you want to scatter ashes over the ocean, but don’t know how. Or you may have a special place chosen, but don’t know what to do or say. What you do know: You know this is the final good-bye. You want it to be genuine.

Memorial plantings or dedications: Memorial plantings or bench dedications in public places often go without ceremony. City staff do the work and you get a little plaque. There is another way. You can choose to honour your loved one in a way that fits their character. We’ll tell stories and add rituals that are uplifting and inspiring.
