Living Wake Vigil: A Unique End-of-Life Planning Experience

Why wait until after someone dies to celebrate the incredible life they have lived? A living vigil brings together the people who matter most to you while you are still here to experience it—all part of your end-of-life planning. They can hear the stories, feel the love, share the laughter, listen to the music, enjoy the food, and partake in the memories being created. There is no right way to organize this, whether it’s a big, joyful celebration filled with family support and friends, an intimate gathering around your bedside, or anything in between. Together, we can design a living vigil that truly reflects who you are and how you want this moment to feel—whether it's sentimental and reflective, funny and unconventional, or simply an amazing party. Some of the most meaningful things we say about a person after they're gone are those they deserve to hear while they’re still here, and our vigil services can help facilitate that beautiful exchange.
