"Planning a Celebration of Life" helped my family honor our Mom in a very warm, loving and personal manner. Mom died suddenly, leaving no written instructions and everyone in the family had a different opinion of what she wanted. The book provided an easy to read, step by step process for us to discuss. The ideas were creative but respectful. Also had recommendations on where to purchase hard to find memorial materials. I know Mom was proud of how we honored her. And it helped bring the family together on how to create a lasting celebration of her life. Thumbs up on the book! I've referred several friends to it.

This guide was a total God-send. I'm not sure how I would have made it through all the planning for my friend's service without it. We were really trying to honor her request to celebrate her life, but weren't sure how to go about it. With all the grief in addition to all the details, I was at a total loss. This little booklet gave us wonderful ideas and really made a difficult process so much better. I can't recommend it highly enough.

When it came time to plan my brother's service, I had so few options. I loved the section about how to keep his memory alive. We even decided to do a couple of the suggestions. This book in concise and well organized. You'll be glad you read this book.
