Celebration of Life Services
As a minister of Metaphysics, we believe that death is a transition or process in nature through which we continue. Everything which has ever been in nature, always is. Only the elements containing the manifestation of the energy or life spirit of the individual has changed.
The ceremony or service is for those who remain after a soul leaves this life as we know it. The service is personalized and designed for your loved one in the location of your choice.
