I’ll meet with your family for 2-3 hours to learn about your loved one’s life. During our time together, you’ll share stories, memories, and special moments that define who they were. After our meeting, I’ll carefully craft a personalized eulogy or life story that reflects their unique journey.

Additionally, we’ll discuss selecting meaningful songs, poems, and photos to be shared during the service. I can also incorporate beautiful elements to honor your loved one in a way that is deeply personal and fitting, Then, at the service, I’ll read the story that has been thoughtfully crafted, sharing their legacy with those gathered.

I typically spend 2-3 hours with the family gathering stories and details about your loved one. Afterward, I dedicate 8-10 hours to organizing the information, creating a timeline, and writing a heartfelt eulogy. On the day of the service, I arrive at least 2 hours early to ensure everything is set up and running smoothly. Often, I am asked to conduct the graveside service as well, which usually takes an additional hour or so lining up vehicles and traveling to the grave site, and then my time and reading there. In total I spend 18-20 hours crafting a truly meaningful and special tribute.

The fee is $500 for a funeral or memorial service and/or graveside service. For location’s farther them 60 miles from my home, an IRS milage rate will be applied.

I offer a range of funeral services, including preplanning, traditional funerals, memorial services, cremation services, graveside services, alternative services, natural burials, and the spreading of ashes. Additionally, I provide pet send-offs to honor your beloved pets.
