For this celebration trilogy, Brian talks about how to plan a celebration of life. There are several differences between how a funeral is run by an ordained minister and a celebrant, such as the way the life of the decedent is talked about and how the officiant addresses the religious portion of the service. Brian explains the difference between a life story and a eulogy and different ways to share memories. This podcast also addresses ideas on how to celebrate a life such as lighting a life candle, including videos from the decedent's life and showcasing their hobbies at the service.
