Lighten

Our Founder and CEO, Alexandra Koys, was interviewed by WGN-TV about the trend towards non-traditional funerals & how many are re-thinking what it means to be remembered. Watch the feature here: https://lnkd.in/deRkTPnR Thank you Erin Ivory for spotlighting the comfort and healing that can come from an uplifting, personalized celebration of life.

When multiple cultures play a role in a loved one's life, a multi-lingual celebration of life can be a beautiful way to honor their heritage and bring family and friends together. #Lighten #Lightencelebrations #celebrationoflife #celebrations #lifecelebrations #multilingual #Italian

We loved Terrible, Thanks For Asking's and Nora McInerny's recent episode "Your Favorite Obituaries" - highlighting that no detail is too large or too small to celebrate about a person you love.  Here's a look at a few of our favorite obituary quotes from the episode.

Each detail of a Lighten #celebration - from ceremony content and venue to decor and food selections - can be a unique reflection of a loved one's identity, values, and personality. Here are just a handful of examples of the venues where Lighten celebrations have been held. Where would you want your celebration to take place?

Each time a family chooses Lighten, we're proud to help them tell their loved one's story and celebrate the impact their life had. This celebration at the Goodman Theatre was a beautiful example of celebrating a life well-lived. #goodmantheatrechicago #goodmantheatre #lighten #celebrationsoflife #celebrationoflife #bansuri #stingquartet #memorials #upliftingcelebration

The families who choose a Lighten celebration plan incredible gatherings to honor incredible lives. This picnic-style celebration in Louisville, KY was a wonderful example of a celebration to honor a veteran with deep devotion to his faith, family, and country. #Lighten #memorialservices #memorialservice #celebrationoflife #celebrationsoflife #memorial #veteran #honoringliveslife #honoringuniquelives #incrediblelives #incrediblecelebrations
