Celebration of Life Event Planning Services
We're Here
With you
New Narrative offers thoughtful guidance, clear planning, and steady support so that you can focus on being present with your family and community.
With over 8 years in business and 500+ events coordinated, we understand how important it is that this event is done right. You’ll be sure that every detail is handled with care so that you can focus on being present with your family, friends, and community.
At New Narrative, we tailor our planning services to meet you where you are, offering as much or as little support as you need.
On event day, we handle every moving part so you can show up with peace of mind knowing everything is taken care of
(and that you will not be the ones in charge).
Celebration of Life
Event Planning Services
Our Celebration of Life Planning Package is designed for families who want experienced guidance without feeling overwhelmed.
We help you make thoughtful decisions, organize details, and will work with you to shape a ceremony that feels true to the person you’re honouring. Leave the logistics and the flow of the event to us.
Planning services begin at $2,950 + taxes
