Seattle Celebration of Life Planner

Honor Their Story.
Celebrate Their Life.

When you're carrying grief, the last thing you need is logistics. Jenni handles every detail — so you can be fully present for the people who matter most.

Honoring Every Life

What is a Celebration of Life?

"There's no one way to say goodbye — there's only the right way for your family."

A Celebration of Life is a personalized memorial gathering that honors who your loved one truly was — their passions, their humor, the moments that made them irreplaceable. Unlike a traditional funeral, it's a flexible, meaningful event shaped entirely by the person being remembered.

It can be held anywhere, at any time, for any number of people. It can be intimate and quiet, or joyful and full of laughter. What matters most is that it feels true to them — and gives everyone present a chance to grieve, connect, and heal.

Meet Jenni

The planner who truly understands

After 34 years as a Seattle hair stylist and salon owner, Jenni built her career around making people feel seen, cared for, and at ease during life's most significant moments.

When she helped coordinate a memorial service and watched a grieving family struggle to manage both their grief and the logistics, she knew there was a better way. That's why she founded Celebrating Loved Ones — to give families the gift of being present.

"Why is there so much focus and availability for wedding planners, but not for memorial events?"
