A Service That Reflects Their Life
Every person and every family is unique. A celebration of life, memorial, or funeral can create space to remember, share stories, and honour the relationship you had with the person who died.
Chaplain Barbel Wray works with families to create respectful, non-denominational services shaped by their values, traditions, memories, and wishes.

How the Planning Process Works
You do not need to have every detail figured out before reaching out. Planning begins with a conversation about the person you are remembering and what would feel meaningful to your family.
- We discuss the type, location, and preferred date of the service.
- You share important memories, relationships, values, and traditions.
- Together, we choose readings, music, speakers, and other personal elements.
- I can assist with the service outline, program bulletin, and coordination.
- The service can be religious, spiritual, or non-denominational.
Virtual planning meetings and online services are available to families throughout North America. In-person meetings and services are available in the Okanagan Valley by arrangement.
