Honoring a Life with Dignity and Grace
A memorial service is a sacred space for healing, remembrance, and the celebration of a unique life. As an ordained Unitarian Universalist minister, I provide a compassionate and grounded presence during one of life’s most difficult transitions. My approach is centered on creating a ceremony that authentically reflects the values, beliefs, and legacy of your loved one, viewed through an inclusive and respectful lens.
A Collaborative Approach to Remembrance
I believe a meaningful service is built on trust and deep listening. My process begins with a personalized interview where we share stories and discuss the traditions that matter most to your family. Whether you are planning a traditional funeral, a secular celebration of life, or a small graveside gathering, I am a dedicated partner who respects your boundaries and handles every detail with meticulous care.
Professional Excellence in Times of Loss
As an ordained Unitarian Universalist minister and former hospice chaplain, I have extensive training in family systems, grief and loss. My goal is to bring order and peace to the setting, ensuring the rite of passage is handled with the love and attention it deserves. You can rely on me for clear communication, guidance around complex family dynamics, and a thoughtful presence, allowing you to focus entirely on honoring your loved one.
