End-of-Life Celebrants

End-of-life celebrants are professionals who create and officiate end-of-life celebrations and memorial services. Sometimes known as funeral officiants, we prefer the term “celebrant” because our #1 goal is to celebrate the life of the loved one, and create meaningful farewells that help bring healing and closure to the family and community.

At Love & Wisdom, our open-minded and nonjudgmental approach appeals to those who are more on the non-traditional and non-religious end of the spectrum. Our expertise lies solely in creating and officiating the memorial ceremony itself. We do not provide funeral planning services, such as scheduling, booking other vendors, or setting up chairs.

We serve primarily Buncombe County, NC, and the surrounding counties.

“Love & Wisdom worked diligently with me to capture the perfect tone for my mother’s ceremony, providing comfort and compassion during a difficult time. Their professionalism and dedication truly made a difference.” ~ Rob R., Brevard, NC
