Living Wakes
A living wake celebrates a loved one's achievements as they are reaching the end of their life. One benefit of a living wake is that it provides the guest of honour the opportunity to have input into the celebration, so they can celebrate the way they desire.
A living wake also enables friends and family to show their loved ones how they feel about them and what their relationship means to them, while they are still alive to hear it. For some. its particularly meaningful that the guest of honour can appreciate the stories and memories of years passed, from the perspective of friends and family.
A living wake is a beautiful oppurtunity to create new memories for those left behind.
