| Planning the Funeral or Memorial Ceremony Whether you are planning your own or a loved one's funeral, Rev. Stark can work with you to suggest how to make the final celebration special with personal touches. Jeanne Stark, an ordained minister, offers funeral and memorial services that recognize and show respect for the unique individual who has died. The ceremony also honors and appreciates the chain of humanity who suffers the loss of that individual. Because every person and every situation is different, Jeanne identifies the need to affirm the values the individual stood for in life. Jeanne will share and plan the ceremony with you, emphasizing the beliefs the individual was dedicated to in life. This way the ceremony is based on readings and rituals in alignment with the individual's philosophy and lifestyle. Some individuals even choose to write portions of their own final celebration of life ceremony. At the first consultation, Jeanne provides free information about final planning, the types of services available, and a sample ceremony for your review. One of the most thoughtful gifts we can give our loved ones is to plan our own after-death arrangements. By facing the certainty of death while we are still young and in good health, we can spare our families unnecessary stress when death occurs. These plans can also lessen the possibility that our family will run up an enormous debt from decisions they make while they are in the grieving process. Funeral Services Available for $50-$150 Please ask Jeanne about low income discounts, because everyone deserves the same rights to a beautiful dignified funeral. info@HudsonValleyCeremonies.com |
