Planning meaningful memorials and celebrations of life with care and calm.
Losing a loved one is hard enough — planning the gathering shouldn’t add stress. I help families in the Eugene/Springfield area coordinate memorial services and celebrations of life that honor their loved one, feel personal, and run smoothly, so you can focus on being present with your family.
My own father passed away unexpectedly in early 2020, and I ended up helping to plan the service. This gives me a unique understanding on the grief process, because I've been there. Previous clients found this to be very helpful when planning a memorial service or celebration of life for their loved one.
I offer this service to families who will have over 100 guests in attendance at a memorial service or celebration of life. Events with a lower guest count are not something I can accomodate at this time.

What I offer
I guide families through every detail, from venue logistics to timelines, vendor coordination, and day-of support. I make sure everything flows gently and respectfully.
Services include:
- Venue and vendor management (catering, rentals, flowers, audio/visual)
- Timeline creation and day-of execution
- Setup, flow, and on-site management
- Guidance and support during an emotional time

Why work with me
Families choose me for a calm, steady presence who handles the logistics so they can focus on honoring their loved one. I bring organization, thoughtfulness, and respect to every detail.
- You want someone patient and compassionate who understands sensitive events
- You want guidance without feeling overwhelmed
- You need support coordinating vendors, timelines, and logistics
- You want the day to feel personal, smooth, and respectful
