Our Philosophy
At Joyful Remembrances, we believe that death can be our greatest teacher about life, and grief can be our greatest teacher about joy. By opening ourselves fully to the end-of-life process, we learn to truly embrace life. By creating space for the grief that accompanies loss, we open ourselves to abundant joy.
