This package encompasses digital photos, video documentation, GPS coordinates, and a commemorative certificate.
VIRTUAL MEMORIAL EXPERIENCE
You have the option to participate in the service through Zoom or other video link-ups, allowing your family and friends to join you in commemorating your loved one’s life, regardless of their location. This time can be cherished for sharing personal memories and stories of your loved one, fostering connection and healing together.
PERSONAL COURIER SERVICE
We’ll journey to your side, connecting with you in person. Entrust us with your loved one’s ashes, and we’ll tenderly accompany them to the chosen ash scattering location, ensuring a reverent farewell. This offering features video of the ceremony, a framed print, GPS coordinates, and a commemorative certificate.
EMBRACE THE PERSONAL TOUCH
Opt to personally attend the ash-scattering ceremony, or even conduct it yourself if you wish. If you decide to join us for the ceremony, entrust us with managing all the intricate details of your trip, from arranging flights and accommodations to coordinating ground transport and meals.
