This gathering may take place in a hall, place of worship, home, club or anywhere that is special to your family and able to accommodate the deceased. Casket is present. Event is followed by Burial, Entombment or Cremation. Some families choose the reverse order. For example, we can begin at the cemetery with burial, then regroup at a venue close by for the rest of the Event. There are many options available.

Visitation
Also known as a “Lamay” or “Wake”
This is a gathering where the casket is open and allows the community and family to say goodbye. There might be food and beverages, prayers, a slideshow, and music. It often takes place the day or night before the Funeral.
Burial Service
Also known as “Graveside Service” or “Green Burial”
This gathering takes place at the cemetery only. It is usually chosen during optimal weather conditions so that all are comfortable.
The Finale
This is a gathering that may take place days or years after cremation. It is a special day to scatter or inter cremated remains. Sometimes when a length of time has gone by, you may find it difficult to decide when and where the right place for your loved ones cremated remains may be. We are here to help. We can talk it out with you and guide you in making the decision that is the right fit for your family.
Repatriation
We are very experienced in international or interprovincial repatriation. You may choose to have an event here and an event “back home”. We must follow the guidelines of repatriation for each respective country.
Curtain Call
This is an Event to Honour the Living.
Some of us don’t want to wait until we are dead to have an event in our honour. We are Event Coordinators who know how to throw a party. The occasion may be a milestone birthday, retirement, anniversary or family re-union. As well, “living funerals” are a unique way to say goodbye to those we love. A “living funeral” also know as “living wake” or FUNeral is ideal for someone who is terminally ill, who has accepted the reality of their situation and wants to say goodbye in person and on their own terms.
