When someone you love dies, the moment matters — what is said, what is remembered, what is felt, stays with you. As a memorial celebrant and funeral officiant in Los Angeles, I help families create meaningful, personalized services with honesty, dignity, and care.
If you’re here because someone you love has died… I’m truly sorry.
This is a difficult road. You don’t have to have everything figured out right now. I’m here to help — at your pace, in your way.
Thoughtfully crafted services that reflect the life, values, and relationships of your loved one — celebrations of life, memorial services, traditional or non-traditional funerals, graveside ceremonies, and spiritual, faith-based, or non-religious services.
Personalized — never scripted or generic.
Explore officiating →Support that continues beyond the service. One-on-one grief conversations, guidance for families navigating loss, and trauma-informed care — especially in sudden or tragic loss.
Grief doesn’t end when the ceremony does.
Grief support →I take time to listen — to your story, your memories, your questions. Together we create a service that feels authentic, honors the full life of your loved one, and makes space for both grief and gratitude.
Whether deeply spiritual, quietly reflective, or somewhere in between — the service will reflect what matters most to you.
Extensive experience with sudden loss, trauma, and complex family dynamics.
You don’t need to know what to say. A short note is enough. I respond as quickly as I can, day or night.
