Making Their Memorial
their moment
Our Process
1
Family and Friend Meeting
Once you’ve signed the contract with us and paid the service fee, we’ll set up a meeting with family and friends to collect stories. These meetings last approximately two hours and are held during business hours. We try our best to accommodate your schedule to leave enough space for your feedback before the service.

Writing Begins
Because our memorials are 100% custom, we have no idea what we’ll write until we hear stories from you. Once we’ve thought more about your loved one, we’ll sit down to write a draft of the ceremony. Our ceremonies typically last about 30 minutes.
3
Feedback + Service Day
Once we’ve completed a draft, we’ll ask for your feedback. We also understand that you may need this time to yourselves and may be unable to provide feedback. Should this be the case, we’ll do our best to write a ceremony that 100% reflects your loved one.
No two persons are alike. Neither are our ceremonies.
A traditional funeral service may not be for your loved one. We also write:
Non-religious funeral services
Wake services
Gravesite memorials after religious funerals
Celebration of life memorials
Direct Burial and Cremation Services
…and any other service that your loved one would have wanted.
About Us
Nearly a decade ago, Liz from Liz Rae & Co began officiating weddings to provide couples with a fully custom ceremony that told their story. With a background in creative writing, her approach to individualizing every ceremony spread around the wedding industry.
When her grandmother passed in February of 2022, she did not have the chance to share stories about her grandmother that properly reflected who she was. In an effort to give everyone the chance to grieve their loved one properly, she collaborated with her co-officiant, Mark, to develop a funeral ceremony writing process similar to that of weddings.
