Our Services

At Dear Goodbyes, we are funeral celebrants and planners, we’re not a funeral home — and we’re not funeral directors.
We partner with trusted licensed providers who handle the physical care, cremation, and paperwork.
We take care of the rest — the heart work, the gathering, the goodbye.

A Simple Goodbye

(Ceremony-Only) | $300 +
You plan the farewell, we help you hold it.
A short consult plus a funeral celebrant to lead your already-planned memorial or gathering with care.
