Once you have made decisions around your own end-of-life, the next step is to make them known to your loved ones and/or those who are legally responsible for enacting your wishes. Knowing how to approach and have these necessary or desired conversations can be daunting. It can be helpful to have a practiced facilitator to help you prepare, or to be present to help guide the conversations with your loved-ones.
Sometimes we find that our wishes and those of our loved ones are not in alignment. If you need support speaking with a loved one about your end-of-life plans, we are available to offer guidance or facilitate a conversation.

Many folks find it meaningful to plan for the legacy they wish to leave behindwhen they are gone. Legacy planning is not only about financial wealth, but also about transmitting values and principles to your loved ones. Whether you plan to pass down your wealth to your loved ones, donate to charity after death, or some combination thereof, it is vital to communicate these wishes clearly.
If you are not sure where to start, or wish to speak to a legal professional or a financial advisor about your wishes, we are happy to connect you to someone in our trusted network. We can also provide resources that may help guide you through these complex processes, and to ensure that your legacy aligns with your values and wishes.

Creating a vigil, funeral or memorial plan ensures that your loved ones are aware of your wishes. From traditional ceremonies to more alternative and customizable rituals, we are here to work with you to create a ritual that truly reflects who you are and the ways in which you’d like to be remembered.
Whether you are looking for education around various religious, spiritual or cultural rituals, seeking spiritual guidance before making decisions, or whether you already know what rituals you would like to arrange, we are here to support you through every step of your planning.
