Funerals & Memorials

Funerals, now often called, "Celebrations of Life," are opportunities to reflect on the life and accomplishments of loved ones, to reflect on our own lives and the value and transience of life generally.

Memorials may recognize anniversaries of the death of a loved one, or what would have been a significant birthday.

In consultation with close family and special friends, a ceremony can be designed to present just exactly what you believe is best for all concerned, while focusing on the best qualities and remembrances of the deceased.

Whether a large group or small, you want this time to be special, personal and memorable.

Call me to discuss your needs.

Testimonial

It is with wonderfully warm feelings that we think of the ceremony you conducted for our dear Mom.

It was a gentle, beautiful occasion, full of warmth, emotion and love. You were a big part of making that possible and we thank you.

Warmest regards to you, John

Letter from Family

June 18, 2014

Dear Mr. Manuel,

You have been the topic of our conversation since our son's Celebration of Life.

So many family and friends said, "what an amazing ceremony."

All truly felt a Celebration of Life was the absolute best way to complete one's circle.

You have given us a loving, peaceful way to help with the loss of our son.

We are very grateful

Thanks once more

Love

(Father, Mother and Sister)

John Manuel
