A celebration of life is a personalised farewell that focuses on remembering and celebrating the life, character and achievements of someone who has passed away. While it may include many of the elements of a traditional funeral, it often offers greater flexibility in how the service is planned and presented.
Unlike a traditional funeral, which may follow religious or formal customs, a celebration of life can be tailored to reflect the individual’s personality, interests and beliefs. Services may be religious, non-religious or somewhere in between, depending on what feels most appropriate for the person being remembered.
