Celebration of Life Ceremonies
We can help you arrange a meaningful celebration of life event for you or a loved one. While many people are focused on traditional funerals, burial services and cremation processes, an increasing number of people opt for a celebration of life ceremony.
The premise of life celebrations upon one’s passing is simple – this ceremony gives friends, family and loved ones the opportunity to pay tribute to a person’s life, give thanks for their contribution to the world and come together to remember a person’s personality and the unique life they lived.
Honouring a person after they have passed takes courage, but more than that it takes calmness and love. Planning an event like this is easiest when emotions aren’t running high. While Basic Funerals is on hand 24/7 to help you with any immediate need, a celebration of life ceremony is best planned in advance.
How we can help
Whether you or a loved one have months or years left to live, we can take you through the process of planning this kind of event. Administrative details (such as the type of memorial service or cremation that is needed) as well as all the technicalities involved, can be addressed in advance. This allows everyone to focus on putting together a plan as well as a ceremony that will honour your loved one in a way that celebrates their unique life, relationships and the love that is shared between you and your family and friends.
How to Start the Process
For your convenience all arrangements with us can be made online or over the phone, all from the comfort of your own home. Alternatively, we can meet you in one of our arrangement locations, whatever is convenient for you. We require some basic information from you in order to start a file. A member of our team will be available to collect this information from you, or you may fill out our simple Arrangement Form.
Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns. We are here to help every step of the way.

In-person meetings are available by appointment at our conveniently located establishments.
