You don’t have to know everything right now.
Planning a farewell—whether urgent or in advance—can feel overwhelming. These are questions families often ask when we first speak. If you are wondering about something that’s not here, please reach out. We are here to help.
Kindred Light Farewell offers pre-planning, eulogies, obituaries, ceremony design, and full spectrum guidance after death so you can focus on love and memory, not logistics.
Funeral homes handle essential logistics like body care and legal paperwork. Kindred Light Farewell offers something complementary: we take care of all logistics and make the phone calls for you. We focus on meaning, presence, and personal ceremony. We work alongside funeral homes or independently to help families reflect, honor, and remember with intention and care.
A celebrant is a trained and certified professional who leads funeral, memorial, or life celebration services. Unlike clergy, celebrants are not affiliated with a specific religion and focus on creating personalized ceremonies that reflect the beliefs, values, and personality of the deceased and their family. Celebrants are often chosen for non-religious, spiritual, or blended services, offering meaningful tributes tailored to the individual’s life story.
From the moment a loved one passes, we offer guidance, tenderness, and light to every goodbye. Our work is rooted in experience, storytelling, ceremony, and presence. Whether you're navigating fresh grief or planning ahead with intention, we hold space for your truth and help you carry the meaning forward—with words that matter and moments that heal.
We offer planning, ceremony design, officiation, tribute and eulogy writing, obituary assistance, and coordination with other providers. Every service is personalized to reflect your loved one’s life and your family’s needs.
A celebrant-led service is a personalized ceremony created and conducted by a trained professional who focuses on honoring the unique life, values, and spirit of the person (or pet) being remembered. We take the time to learn your stories and wishes, then shape a service that reflects what matters most to you—with or without religious elements, always with heart.
We design and lead:
Every ceremony is fully customized to your needs, beliefs, and preferences.
A farewell ceremony is a more intimate goodbye—quiet, personal, and often held close to the time of passing. A celebration of life is more public and uplifting, focusing on sharing stories, memories, and honoring the joy they brought.
Some families choose one, others choose both—each offers a meaningful way to say goodbye.
Yes. We offer professional writing services to help you find the right words in difficult times.

We also write obituaries with care and dignity, ready for publication or sharing online.

Absolutely. Many families today prefer secular, spiritual-but-not-religious, or interfaith ceremonies. Our approach is inclusive, respectful, and deeply personal—we listen first, then build a service that feels just right for you and your loved one.
Not at all. We welcome people of all faiths, mixed traditions, or no religious background. Whether you want a spiritual farewell, a creative celebration, or something simple and secular, we’ll shape a service that fits your values and voice.
Yes. Many families reach out within hours or days of a death. Our first step is to help you slow down, breathe, and sort through what needs to happen right now—and what can wait. We’ll guide you gently, so you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
Yes. Some people reach out months or even years before a death occurs. We can work with you or your family to clarify your wishes, shape a meaningful plan, and relieve future stress. Planning ahead is an act of love.
Absolutely. Grief makes it hard to find words—and we are here to help. Whether you want us to write it from scratch, edit something you have started, or simply talk it through with you, we’ll help you find the words that feel true.
We honor the bond between people and animals with the same care we offer human memorials. Pet tributes can be as simple or as elaborate as you wish—from heartfelt words at home to full ceremonies with music, photos, and keepsakes. Your grief is real. Your goodbye deserves meaning.
Yes. The loss of a beloved pet is real and deep. We offer memorial writing, small ceremonies, and space to honor the bond you shared.
