Because everyone deserves their story told with care.
How can a celebrant coordinate with a traditional funeral home?
We will write and deliver a moving eulogy/tribute speech to accompany your wake or graveside service.
We remove one of the most painful uncertainties from memorials.
Too often, trans and queer lives are misunderstood in the very moments meant to honor them, through misgendering, deadnaming, or unstructured, unconsidered speech.
Our process ensures clarity, respect, and intention in every word spoken.
We remove the chaos by employing a three step process:
1) We interview your loved ones and friends, and avoid interviewing anyone you do not wish us to talk to.
2) Based on these interviews, we write a moving speech (twenty to thirty minutes in length) that tells your life story. Your triumphs, your struggles, the memories you leave behind. We weave together a few hours worth of possible testaments to your life so that nothing disrespectful is shared and everyone’s time is honored.
3) We deliver this speech at your (or your loved one’s) memorial. We include music and quotations to punctuate the time. We make it meaningful for you.
Every anecdote, ritual, and song is chosen to reflect a life fully lived. For trans and gay people, that storytelling is an act of resistance. And we’re honored to stand with you.
