Vigil & Funeral Planning

When death is near, thoughtful planning and compassionate support can transform the final passage into a meaningful, peaceful experience that honors the individual and brings comfort to loved ones.

Vigil Planning

I support families in creating sacred space during the final hours and days. Vigil planning includes:

• Environmental comfort planning
• Creating a peaceful atmosphere with lighting, music, and aromatherapy
• Meaningful rituals that honor spiritual or cultural traditions
• Facilitating final conversations and goodbyes
• Supporting family members in being present without fear
• Continuous emotional support before, during, and after death
