Chosen Kin

A celebration of life run by the people who knew them best.

Sometimes the official funeral doesn't fit the person you knew. The family of origin may be in charge of the arrangements, and the friends who were their everyday family are left in the back row, or not invited at all.

A Chosen Kin celebration is for you. I'll help you plan a gathering that tells the truth about their life, wherever and whenever works for the people who loved them.

What it can look like
  • A gathering planned by friends, partners and chosen family
  • Held separately from any official service, on your timeline
  • Their real name, their real pronouns, their real people
  • Stories, music and food that match who they were
  • Help thinking through what you can and can't control legally

Every celebration is two hours, in a morning or evening slot, at a place that suits the person.Planning starts at $1,250 for partial planning. Services and prices · What funerals cost here
