What Would Your Celebration of Life Look Like—If It Actually Celebrated You?

Here’s a radical question: What if your final goodbye was less about mourning your death and more about celebrating your life?

Think less somber service, more epic send-off. Less quiet sobbing in pews, more laughter over margaritas. A moment that feels like you—the best, most unapologetic, and joyful version of you.

You’re the Main Character—Make It a Good Plot Twist

Most people don’t get a say in how their goodbye plays out. And when families are left in charge, things tend to default to beige. Beige flowers. Beige music. Beige memories.

But what if you could throw one final bash and make it unmistakably you?

  • Your Playlist: Not just hymns. Maybe Lizzo. Maybe Bowie. Maybe a full-on Broadway medley.

  • Your Favorite Foods: Chicken fingers and champagne? Vegan donuts and whiskey? Done.

  • Your Vibe: Cozy backyard BBQ? Black-tie dance party? Theme night with costumes? There are no rules.

The beauty of a well-planned celebration is that it allows people to grieve and smile. To cry and laugh. And more than anything, it allows them to feel close to you—because every detail has your fingerprints on it.

Make a list. Share your preferences. Be a little weird. Be totally you.

If you could attend your own memorial… what would you want to walk into?
