eing in charge of planning your loved one’s end-of-life tribute is an important undertaking. How can you honor a person very dear to your heart— and the hearts of others—in a special way without it being a somber occasion? Hosting a celebration of life. This style of observance focuses on the joyous memories of how your beloved touched countless lives throughout their years. If you’re planning this type of celebration for your loved one who has recently passed, or you simply want to plan ahead for the future, here’s a list to ensure you check off all the boxes!
1. CREATE AN INVITE LIST + DISTRIBUTE IT. Think of family, friends (new and old) and others in their life that they loved. Once the list is created, consider sending out the information via email, private Facebook event, printed invitation or phone call. 2. BOOK A VENUE. Choosing the right location can be challenging. Consider hosting the celebration at a park, faith-based community center or a place that held special meaning to your loved one. Then, decide if there’ll be a virtual aspect of the event to allow attendance from those who aren’t in close proximity to the location.
