Celebrating lives that have been lived is the heart of Stories of A Lifetime. When a loved one passes, take the burden off of yourself and entrust Celebrant Holly to write and officiate a personalized and meaningful Celebration of Life Service that honors the life being memorialized.  

There is no set way this service has to be fulfilled. It can and should be as special as the loved one you are missing and include the music, readings, poems, and memories that will mean the most to you and your family. As a Certified Funeral Celebrant, Holly is able to craft and officiate a complete ceremony from welcome to dismissal that is personalized for your family. She brings calming professionalism to the service and can assist with incorporating family and friends to share readings or sentiments.

Even the most trained public speakers falter with emotions and anxiety when called upon to eulogize a loved one. Holly’s distinct specialty built from personal experience, compassion, and love is writing and delivering the story of the life being celebrated. Holly will meet with the family for usually 90-minutes or so to gather the family’s wishes for the service, capture the essence of the loved one who has passed, and gather the memories to be shared. Holly is accessible to the family during the days or weeks leading up to the service to help with service details such as scheduling military honors, organizing memory take-aways like rocks or recipe cards, and finalizing music selections. As the Celebrant, Holly is your guiding light to help you navigate through your loved one’s funeral service and keep the ceremony flowing smoothly.      

Over Holly’s many years of serving families with Celebrations of Life, three of the most common responses from families are:

“Holly is truly called to do this. It is her gift.”

“Everybody needs a Holly.”

“I want Holly to do my service someday.”
