Compassion
Planning a special tribute can seem overwhelming during this time. Healing starts at our first family meeting in your home, or at our conference room. Zoom meetings can help connect family members overseas. I can answer questions and provide suggestions to help create a signature memorial event.
Signature
I will relieve the stress and uncertainty. I write compassionate and engaging original tribute programs for every family I serve. I also welcome speakers and written submissions that further personalize endearing memories.
Expertise
Expertise is assured. See the Letters page of the website. I’m quite proud of the letters and comments I receive. I have assisted with more than 350 Life Celebrations, funerals, and interment events, and I have worked with over 38 of our Metro Vancouver Funeral Directors. Let me answer your questions.
