Planning a funeral or memorial service can feel overwhelming—especially while you’re grieving. You don’t have to navigate it alone. As an ordained minister, my role goes far beyond standing at the podium. I walk alongside you through each step of the process, helping you create a service that honors life, acknowledges loss, and brings comfort to those gathered.
Whether you’re planning something traditional or more personal, I take the time to listen, learn about your loved one, and guide you through meaningful choices—from readings and music to the tone and flow of the service. My goal is to ease the burden, provide clarity, and help you feel supported every step of the way.

A traditional funeral or memorial service offers structure, familiarity, and a sense of continuity—often rooted in faith, ritual, or long-held family traditions. These services can be deeply comforting, especially during a time of loss.
I help families thoughtfully plan and lead services that may include:
Whether the service takes place in a church, funeral home, graveside, or other setting, I ensure it is conducted with dignity, compassion, and care—while still reflecting the unique life being remembered.

A Celebration of Life focuses on honoring who your loved one was—their personality, passions, relationships, and impact. These services are often more flexible, personal, and uplifting, while still holding space for grief and reflection.
I work closely with families to create a ceremony that feels authentic and meaningful, which may include:
Whether formal or casual, indoors or outdoors, I help shape a service that truly celebrates a life well lived—without pressure to fit a mold.
