Quite simply, life is about relationships and using ceremonies to commemorate key moments enrich those relationships. Your shared memories of those moments last a lifetime and can act as building blocks for the years ahead.

Not all of life’s key moments are joyous but commemorating even the sad moments can help you to cope.

Whether it is remembering a loved one or clearly marking the end of one period of your life and the start of a new one, a life ceremony is an opportunity to think about what is important to you. It enables you to bring together the people who will support you through these times.

Life is precious and celebrations help us all to live emotionally healthy lives.
