The Living Funeral Ceremony is a 2–3 hour guided experience (length depends on group size and other factors) that invites participants to gently turn toward their own mortality.

During the ceremony, you will:

• Encounter your own memorial

• Engage in reflective writing practices

• Be guided through a death meditation and visualization

This powerful ritual offers a transformative and cathartic journey, supporting mindfulness, acceptance, and deep appreciation for life’s beauty and impermanence. Through facing death, we are reminded of the urgency and sacredness of living fully in the present moment.
