The Living Memorial ceremony is held for those who wish to be present to say goodbye to their loved ones by creating a space to do so before passing.

Spirit Vessel helps you design this special ceremony to honor and celebrate your life by creating a space for you to receive words of love, admiration, forgiveness and farewell.

The Living Memorial ceremony gives your family the gift of an intentional gathering that takes the guesswork out of how you wish to be celebrated and grieved. By consciously inviting your loved ones to speak to the grief they will feel in your absence you are empowering their healing process, and in a sense, getting to partake in it.

Spirit Vessel helps you design a ceremony based around you and your family’s beliefs and needs. The process of becoming more intimate with your desires creates more clarity and purpose around the legacy you wish to leave in the world.

What are the benefits of having a living memorial ceremony?

  • Family and friends get to be present to celebrate their loved one and gently acknowledge emotions surrounding their inevitable loss.

  • The ill or elderly individual gets to be present with those they hold dearest and have a chance to say goodbye on their own terms.

  • The living memorial ceremony provides time to explore personalization options and stay within a desired budget to the satisfaction of the honoree.

  • Guests near and far have time to plan to be present at the ceremony.

  • Families are relieved from having to plan a service for their loved one in the immediate aftermath of their loss.

  • Spirit Vessel provides you the support and tools for at home, intimate, personalized ceremonies, in which you can participate by yourself or with others. The ceremonial guide will walk you through the process of designing your memorial ceremony from beginning to end.
