A living wake offers people an alternative to a traditional wake; one that they can actually be part of.

Living Wakes contain the same key elements as usual Wakes but the difference is that a Living Wake is designed in collaboration with someone while they’re still alive.

And rather than happening after you’re gone, a Living Wake is held with ‘YOU’ as the guest of honour.

When creating a Living Wake, I will work closely with you to understand what matters to you most in life, and what kind of celebration you want.

Your participation is what matters most.

Living Wakes can be as creative and unique as you like. It can give you a chance to do things you wouldn’t normally get to do at a wake, for example:

• Thank people who have played a part in your life

• Express last wishes, private secrets or confessions that you don’t want to take with you

• Hear final messages that loved ones may have for you

• Spend precious final moments surrounded by the people who love you

• Enjoy your all-time favourite music, food, drinks and company

• Put together a time capsule for your family to keep

• Give your unique personal belongings to specific people

You can have a big lavish celebration or a private and intimate one – it is your choice. Whatever you require, I will ensure it reflects your wishes, vision and your life’s story.
