When we lose a loved one, there is always the sadness that they
are no longer physically in this world. Although those feelings
are present, the memorial can be a celebration of that person’s
life, which helps to counteract the feelings of loss those left
behind experience.
How many times have you been to a memorial
or funeral and the person officiating the service didn’t take
enough time to really know the departed person or their family and
friends? Words that have no meaning leave the family and
friends feeling incomplete and that their loved one was not properly
acknowledged.
Jani will spend the time necessary to acquire the information and
stories about your loved one’s life to create a memorial service
that will respectfully reflect the nature, beliefs and values of
your dearly departed. Because of her training to work with people
dealing with change in their lives and her calm and caring nature,
she has the compassion and expertise to console you as you are dealing
with the preparations of the memorial service.

“Something New”: Create Your Own Memorial
Service While You’re Alive
Jani is also available to work with you if you wish to create your
own memorial service regardless of your
age or physical health. It is a memorial
service that will be performed after you have passed on, but is
created by you for yourself while you
are still living.
Doing so supports people in accepting the reality that one day we
will all leave this body which in return, allows people to live
more fully now. By completing your
memorial service, you have the opportunity to look at what your
life has been up to now and what you may want it to be from this
point on. There is an added sense of
peace about the past and clarity
about the future that can be gained
by going through the process of creating your memorial now.
“Life is about not knowing, having to change,
taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s
going to happen next.”
 Gilda
Radner
“In the absence of wake up calls, many of
us never really confront the critical issues of life
