Frequently Asked Questions

Why an in home celebration of life?

An in-home celebration of life is a warm, personal gathering held in the comfort of one’s own home to honour someone’s life, stories, and spirit. At Good Mournings, we shape these gatherings by listening closely to the person being celebrated and customizing every detail to reflect their uniqueness. The home becomes a meaningful, welcoming space where loved ones can share memories, express themselves freely, and take part in a heartfelt celebration that feels authentic, intimate, and lovingly remembered.

What are living wakes?

A living wake is a meaningful gathering that celebrates someone’s life while they are still present to experience it. At Good Mournings, we offer unique living wake experiences that allow individuals to take part in their own end-of-life celebration, surrounded by the people they love. These events create space for meaningful conversations, shared memories, and the open expression of love and appreciation offering a beautiful, comforting way to honour a life in real time.
