Tell your life story, your way.
A living memorial is a gathering where you share your own story, and hear first-hand how much you mean to the people you love — while you’re here to be part of it.
Some of the most beautiful words are spoken at a funeral.
Sometimes life brings unexpected challenges — a serious illness, difficult news, or simply the sense that time is precious. In these moments, many people begin thinking about their own funeral, to take that weight off their family.
Yet some of the most beautiful memories and words of love are shared at a funeral service, when the person they’re about can no longer hear them.
But what if you could be there?Your story, told by you.
A living memorial is a eulogy for the living. The floor is yours — and it can be as simple or as special as you like.
Your own story
Share the story of your life, the memories you treasure, the love you hold for the people around you — and even any regrets.
Their memories of you
Family and friends share their own memories and stories, so you can hear just how much you’ve meant to them.
Guided with care
One of our experienced celebrants can help you shape the gathering and gently guide it on the day.
Music & photos
Play the songs that shaped your life, and share photos that tell your story on the screens in our chapel.
Time together
Share a cup of tea and conversation afterwards in our function room, or a place that’s special to you.
For those far away
Livestreaming means family and friends who can’t be there in person can still be part of the day.
“Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be there — to hear just how special it has been to have you in their lives?”
For anyone with something to say.
A living memorial can be a deeply meaningful choice for:
- Someone living with a terminal or serious illness
- Anyone who wants to say what matters, in their own words
- Families who want to celebrate a loved one while they’re still with them
- Those who would like to take the weight of planning off their family
