Our community has a rich history of gathering to support each other in death and grief. The ways of farewelling and celebrating a life are varied. We encourage you to consider in advance what you would like. This helps provide clarity and simplicity upon your death.

The information that follows and the Pre-Arrangement Form are to guide your research and decisions regarding what you want for your body after your last breath.

Members of the End of Life Committee of the Celo Friends Meeting (CFM) are available for conversations as you consider your options and complete the Pre-Arrangement Form. They can help coordinate the arrangements at the time of death.
