When someone dies, the service is one of the last things you get to do for them. It should sound like them: their humor, their faith or lack of one, their stubbornness, the way they loved.
Chris has stood at bedsides and gravesides for years as a chaplain. We meet with your family, gather stories, and write a service and eulogy that honor a real life, and we coordinate with the funeral home so you have one less thing to manage.
From first hello to the day itself.

The day
We arrive early, coordinate with the funeral home, and lead with care so you can grieve.
Ways we can shape it
- A eulogy built from your family's stories
- Readings, scripture, poems, or songs they loved
- Moments for family and friends to share
- Rituals like candle lighting or a memory table
- Graveside committal or a scattering of ashes
Practical details
- We coordinate directly with your funeral director.
- Services can be at a funeral home, church, graveside, home, or outdoors.
- If a death is close, put URGENT in your message and we will respond as fast as we can.
