What does commemorate mean?
com·mem·o·rate
kəˈmeməˌrāt/
A verb
Definition: To recall and show respect for (someone or something) in a ceremony. As in “a wreath-laying ceremony to commemorate the war dead.”
When one of your friends or loved ones passes on from life on Earth, we’d like to assist you in commemorating their life, and celebrating the gifts they were in the lives of others.
A “celebration of life” is a modern term used to refer to a memorial service conducted within family members and friends to rejoice the life of the deceased. This last service or ceremony is more focused on the life accomplishments, lives of the people they inspired, and the legacy they leave behind. rather than their “death.”Planning for this service takes a bit more time due to additional elements that are included to commemorate and express the love and affection for the loved one.
We’d like to help you make the day memorable, and make your life easier in the process. We offer peace of mind.

We find these words in Ecclesiastes:
3: 1-2: “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die…”
7:1: “A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death than the day of birth.”
