A virtual event is a gathering that brings family and friends together when they are not in the same physical location, but are connected in a common environment. We use Zoom for all of our events. It’s easy to use, and has the most compatible functionality for our virtual event model.

A Hybrid Event is when some speakers and guests gather in a physical location, and when online speakers and guests also participate on their own computer, tablet, smart phone or home phone. The physical guests, as well as the online audience, come together to support each other and participate in the same experience at the same time.

Many families have a funeral, followed by a celebration of life. The focus of a celebration of life is not on death, rather on celebrating their loved one's passions, personality, achievements and intellectual pursuits.

After all of the designated speakers, guests are invited to share a memory or story about the honoree.
