We can be contacted during various stages of the memorial and celebration of life planning process or even if you simply have general questions about funeral etiquette, tributes or need someone to help eliminate your feelings of being overwhelmed.

It is never too late to plan a memorial tribute or celebration of life for someone you love. It can be held immediately following a graveside service, weeks or months later, on an anniversary date or even become an annual event where family and friends gather to honor your mother, their memories and relationships. The beautiful thing about a Celebration of Life is that there are no time restraints and no hard and fast rules. What is most important is that you and your family are comfortable with the scope of the gathering and agree on the purpose. Ever After Celebrations can provide the guidance and careful questions to allow for a personalized and meaningful event.

A Celebration of Life should be viewed as one more milestone in life’s continuum. We gather for baptisms, bar | bat mitzvahs, birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, award recognitions and retirement parties. Often the irony of preparing a memorial celebration is that the person who would most enjoy the event is not there. So why not take the opportunity to recognize someone you love for no particular reason other than “it might just be about time.” Yes, we can work with you, and would be delighted.

We at Ever After Celebrations are not funeral directors however Patrice does have her Limited-Life License from the state of California and is experienced in the funeral planning process. She is available for consultation to assist you before or even during the arrangement planning process. It often helps to have the support from an objective expert during the organization of an emotional affair. Do not be shy about calling us for further information.

Look no further! Ever After Celebrations offers a series of  interview and recording packages to document the Love & Legacy of one’s life. Storytones: Love & Legacy is an interactive way for your parents to record in their own words life lessons, stories, childhood memories, and more in the form of finished audio and video recorded package.

You’ll thank your parents for sharing their wisdom, insight and life stories with you in a format that will last forever. We are all connected by the stories passed down from those who came before us and the legacies we pass down to those who come after us. Call us for more information and with other questions.

We understand the need for some sort of accepting guidance or presence when preparing a celebration of Life. Ever After Celebrations has partnered with officiants who respect this belief when traditional forms of spirituality do not apply to you or your family. Let us work together to provide the supportive and professional touches that will replace confusion with peace of mind.
