What a Celebration Can Be

A celebration can be quiet or joyful, formal or relaxed, indoors or outdoors. What matters is that it feels true to your family and the person you're remembering.

Intimate and Outdoors

Quiet gatherings in gardens, parks, or meaningful places.

Structured and Ceremonial

Traditional services with readings, music, and shared rituals.

Simple and Personal

Low-key moments focused on memory and connection.

Creative and Unconventional

Celebrations that break the mold, reflecting the life lived.

Community Halls

Familiar, accessible gathering spaces

Historic Buildings

Spaces with character and warmth, often with traditional touches

Restaurants and Private Dining Rooms

Intimate, shared-table environments

Gardens and Outdoor Spaces

Natural settings for reflection and connection

These are just a few examples. We can help you find the right setting for your celebration, wherever that might be.

You don't have to do this alone

Whether you have a clear vision or no idea where to start, we're here to help you move forward at your own pace — thoughtfully, gently, and without pressure.

We start by listening

We listen to who you're honoring and what matters most — helping you find clarity without pressure.

We help you explore

We help you explore options and make decisions without overwhelm or second-guessing.

We handle the details

We take care of logistics and coordination so you can focus on being present.

We Listen First

Before we talk about venues, timelines, or logistics, we want to understand what matters to you. Who was this person? What did they care about? What kind of gathering would feel meaningful to your family? There's no rush to have all the answers.

We Help You Make Sense of Options

Planning a celebration means making dozens of decisions, many you've probably never thought about before. We'll walk you through your options in plain language, explain what's typical (and what's not), and help you figure out what actually matters versus what you can let go.

We Coordinate the Details When You're Ready

Once you know what you want, we handle the coordination: securing the venue, arranging services, managing timelines, and making sure everything runs smoothly. You shouldn't have to project-manage a celebration while you're grieving.

Planning Together

We've designed our planning process to feel supportive, not overwhelming. You'll move through at your own pace, and nothing is locked in until you're ready.

1

Share What Matters to You

We'll start with a conversation to understand your family, your needs, and what you're hoping to create.

2

Explore Options Together

We'll walk through options for venue, format, and timing. You can change your mind as many times as you need.

3

Reserve Your Date When Ready

When you've found the right fit, we'll reserve your date and handle coordination from there.

What is January?

January will help families plan both direct cremation and personal celebrations of life.

We’ll offer practical support and calm guidance every step of the way, so families can focus on what matters most: honoring the person they love.

Direct Cremation

(coming soon)

A simple, supported option for families who prefer cremation without the formality of a traditional funeral home. January will handle every step with transparency and care — from pickup to return of ashes, with clear, flat pricing and ongoing guidance along the way.

Celebration of Life

(coming January 2025)

A personal, meaningful gathering that reflects who your person was and how they lived. January will help plan and coordinate every detail — from venues and vendors to the flow of the day — so the experience feels seamless, heartfelt, and true to them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Celebrations

How soon do we need to plan a celebration?

There's no universal timeline. Some families hold a celebration within days, while others wait weeks or even months. The right timing depends on your family's needs, travel logistics, and emotional readiness. We can help you think through what makes sense for your situation.

What if we don't know what we want yet?

That's completely normal. Most families don't have a clear vision at the start. Our role is to help you explore options, think through what feels right, and make decisions at your own pace. You don't need to have it all figured out before reaching out.

Can we make changes after we've started planning?

Yes. Your needs and preferences may shift as you move through the planning process, and that's expected. We build in flexibility so you can adjust details as you go. Nothing is locked in until you're truly ready.

Do you work with specific venues, or can we choose our own?

We maintain a large database of partner venues who offer us exclusive pricing—often up to 40% off public rates. This gives you access to quality spaces at significantly better value. If none of the venues in our database fit your needs, we'll find one that does. We're here to support your vision, wherever it takes place.

Does it need to be on a weekday to fit it into your packages?

Not necessarily, but we can only guarantee weekdays at the package prices. Venue costs increase significantly on weekends, and to keep our packages at flat fees, we build them around weekday availability. With additional budget, we can absolutely accommodate weekend requests. Sometimes we can even make weekends work within package pricing, but we can't guarantee we'll find something within budget.

What's included in your support?

It depends on which package you choose. Our Simple Memorial Package ($1,750) includes day-of support and essential memorial elements. Our Signature Memorial Package ($3,900) includes dedicated event planning, vendor coordination, and full day-of support. For custom celebrations, we'll tailor our level of involvement to match your specific needs and budget.

How much does a celebration of life cost?

Our Simple Memorial Package starts at $1,750 for weekday gatherings up to 50 guests. Our Signature Memorial Package is $3,900 for weekday gatherings up to 90 guests with full planning support. Custom celebrations are priced based on your specific needs. We'll always walk you through pricing clearly with no hidden fees.

What if we want something really simple?

Simple celebrations are just as meaningful as elaborate ones. If you want a small gathering with minimal structure, we can support that. Our role is to match our services to your needs, not to convince you to do more than feels right.

Can we combine a celebration with a cremation or burial?

Absolutely. Many families choose to hold a celebration in conjunction with cremation or burial services. We can coordinate everything together or help you plan them separately, depending on your preferences and timing.
