what this service entails
A ceremony that sounds like them
Some services are traditional — organ music, a eulogy, a final prayer. Others play the deceased's favorite records, screen home movies, and end with everyone raising a glass. Both are perfect. Our celebrants and clergy partners help you build the hour that fits.
Our chapel seats 180, with overflow rooms, a quiet cry-room for little ones, and live-streaming for family far away.
- Chapel ceremony, visitation, vigil or rosary service
- Celebrant or clergy of any faith — or none
- Musicians, photo tributes and live-streaming
- Printed programs, memory tables and flower staging
- Reception room for gathering afterwards
how the day flows
The shape of the day
1 · Gathering
Guests arrive to music and a memory table of photographs and keepsakes. Our hosts greet everyone at the door so no one wonders where to go.
2 · Remembering
Readings, eulogies, favorite songs and quiet moments. The celebrant weaves it together; family members speak only if they wish to.
3 · Farewell
A final blessing, a song, and a recessional — then coffee and food in the reception room while stories keep flowing.
questions families ask
Ceremony questions
We're not religious. Can you still help?+
Absolutely. About half of our ceremonies are secular celebrations of life led by our in-house celebrants — stories, music, and rituals of your own making.
Can family overseas take part?+
Yes. Every chapel service can be live-streamed privately, and distant relatives can record readings we play during the ceremony.
How soon can a service be held?+
Usually within three to five days. If family must travel, we can care for your loved one longer and hold the service when everyone can be here.
A note on cost
A chapel ceremony with visitation begins around $4,900 including our care and coordination. You'll receive an itemized written estimate before you decide anything.
