Though words may not fully express the depth of a person’s character, a Life Story® has the power to change the focus of a funeral service from the death to the life that was lived. The story engages people and encourages them to revisit the memories they may not otherwise acknowledge. They can then link these thoughts to the person who has died, realizing how he or she affected their own life. Making these connections is vital to the healing process, which is why people leave a Life Story Visitation or Service feeling supported by their memories.
