Spirit Vessel’s Memorial Service Ceremony is designed to honor and celebrate the life of the deceased while helping ease the way for those who live on.

While most traditional funeral ceremonies focus attention on the death of a loved one, our attention is equally focused on those left grieving. Whether your loss was recent or some time has passed, we are here to support you through these challenging times. We will help you design a ceremony that allows you to be present with one another to say last words, share heartfelt stories, and remember beautiful moments.

Traditionally a funeral is held within several days of one’s passing, but since this is not a typical funeral ceremony it can be designed and organized on any desired timeline. We encourage you to take the time needed to integrate the loss of your loved one before feeling rushed into creating a ceremony. This gives you time to address how you feel, and to begin to accept the many facets of your loved one’s death before planning a ceremony.

Spirit Vessel helps you create a space to rest, feel held, and to be witnessed in your grief while also receiving support from your family and community.
