Life Review and Legacy Projects

 

Let’s talk about who and what matters to you. What brings you meaning? What makes you you?

While you share your stories, you might learn you have unfinished business you’d like to address. Many people discover they have a message they’d like to share, or wisdom to leave behind.

We can involve the whole family, creating lasting memories through projects, ceremonies, gatherings, storytelling, letter writing, music, and art. As tough as it can be, there’s beauty to be found in the sadness.

An InSight-certified Celebrant

who writes and delivers comforting, personalized eulogies.

I am not a home funeral guide, nor am I a licensed funeral director. I can, however, educate you on possibilities for after-death care in Ohio (or wherever you live), including environmentally friendly, sustainable choices. We deserve to have our bodies cared for in a way that matches our values, and I will work hard to connect you with a funeral director or home funeral guide who can meet your needs.

Knowing all options for body disposition can save you thousands of dollars in services and products that don’t meet your needs, affording you the opportunity to dedicate resources to the things that matter most to you.

As a certified funeral celebrant, it would be an honor to write your eulogy and to work with your chosen funeral director to design a personalized, powerful memorial service, honoring you and supporting your loved ones. I can also write obituaries, or assist families who want to write their own.

Armonia Maxima offers a variety of additional services to meet your specific needs.

Have a non-medical need not listed here? Let’s talk!

I’m available for speaking engagements, and can provide consulting, mentorship, and training for your private practice or organization.

 

Is your community organization or church ready to talk about death, to discuss how we can support our friends, family, neighbors, and ourselves when facing death? Are you looking for an engaging guest lecturer for a class on Death and Dying?

Whether you’re a hospice volunteer coordinator seeking to train volunteers and employees on how to meet patients where they are, or an organizational leader looking to train members on the art of active listening, I’m an experienced workshop facilitator available for consulting and training on a one-time or ongoing basis.
