A new approach.
Caring Support.
CELEBRATION OF LIFE
48% of people say they would prefer a celebration of life memorial service over a traditional religious funeral, and that preference is growing.
TAILORED FOR YOU
Every person is special and their end of life celebration should be designed to fit the way your family needs and wants to say goodbye (or see ya later).
ONE PLACE. ONE EVENT
Rather than asking friends and family members to drive to a funeral home one night, to a memorial service another day, and then to a home for a shared meal, we consolidate everything into one event that includes visitation, the memorial service, and a catered meal all in one place and at one time.
MEDIA PRODUCTION
Our venue is equipped with state-of-the-art sound, lighting, and projected video screens that allow us to present memories of your loved one including photos, video, and the music they loved.
30-Years Experience
I’ve had a front row seat for funerals and memorial services for over 30 years.
I’ve witnessed what makes services beautiful and inspiring. I’ve also seen what has been ineffective or even cringe-worthy.
As the pricetag for a funeral/memorial services has skyrocketed, I’ve seen people struggle with cost and began working on a way to offer a much more satisfying service at a significantly lower price.
How We’re Different?
We SERIOUSLY care.
Traditional funeral homes have served us since the 1760’s. They have been the place where we entrusted our departed loved ones remains after death. Funeral homes oversee preparing the body for viewing, providing space and time for family and friend visitation, a funeral service and burial or cremation.
Over the years the price for these services has skyrocketed. Funerals can cost as much as $15,000 not including burial cost or any kind of family meal.
Memorial Events Atlanta offers a new and wiser way to plan a funeral/memorial service.
There are a few things that only a funeral directory can do (preparing a body for viewing or cremation and overseeing a burial), and for those things, we work with one of Atlanta’s best, most cost efficient funeral homes. Then our job is to host the visitation, a beautiful memorial or funeral service, and provide a catered meal for your family and friends that is better than any funeral experience you’ve had before.
Our goal is to craft exactly what you need to make the service honoring your loved one beautiful and memorable.
Rethink what a memorial service can be like…
The process of saying goodbye to a loved one who has passed away can involve great stress. For the family, there are pressures to buy expensive funeral packages. Also, there are logistical issues involving many people moving from funeral home to the cemetery to a different family member’s home for a family meal.
Our hope is that by consolidating everything into a single event in a single place, much of the stress is taken off grieving families, and the experience is better for everyone.
We know from years of experience that our approach is better because families tell us so over and over again.
We Provide…
- Better venue – a larger, comfortable auditorium centrally located to all parts of Metro Atlanta
- Better schedule – visitation and service on the same day in the same place to help prevent unnecessary fatigue
- Better customized video capability to reflect the life of the deceased
- Better officiants to make sure your service is what you want, officiants who care more about you than their sermons
- Better meal plan for after the service
- Better price
Satisfied Families
Again and again we hear from friends and family members that the end of life celebration experience we provided left them feeling a sense of peace and satisfaction that was the beginning of emotional healing that follows the loss of a loved one.
These are a few of their stories…
Mandy
“The multimedia was great. They had the huge screens that everyone could see, and it made it feel … good! I don’t even know if I cried that much because Ray presented my dad’s life from beginning to end, telling my dad’s jokes and stories. It was more of a happy day, celebrating my dad rather than mourning him.”
Deborah
“We had the meal, visitation, and the memorial service there all in one night. It felt more comfortable like a home, but there was plenty of room for everyone who attended.”
Jeanie & Burt
“When Ray is asked to officiate a funeral, it makes the biggest difference that he asks questions to learn about the person the service is about. Even when they’re a total stranger, Ray steps in the roll of a good friend and it makes all the difference.”
