Have the Talk of a Lifetime
Asking questions such as “What was it like when you graduated from high school? What did your wedding ceremony look like? Who were your best childhood friends growing up? How did you spend your summers when school was out?” are creative questions that help start these important conversations.
We're pleased to offer the Have the Talk of a Lifetime brochures and workbooks.
These resources help family members thoughtfully share stories, remember what is important to loved ones, and plan a meaningful, personalized memorial in a sensitive and encouraging manner.
