6. Living On Through Love: Memorial Planning, Legacy & Meaningful Remembrance

How we are remembered matters.

In this thoughtful and practical session, Bereavement Counselor, Rev. Premajyothi Devi, shares guidance on preparing your memorial wishes in advance, personalizing services, and creating a legacy that reflects your values.  Learn how to relieve loved ones of uncertainty, support the causes you care about, and transform remembrance into meaningful continuity.

Preparation brings clarity. Legacy carries love forward.

Preparing your memorial wishes in advance is one of the most thoughtful gifts you can leave behind. It relieves loved ones of uncertainty, prevents unnecessary stress, and ensures that your values, beliefs, and voice are honored.

In this compassionate and practical session, Rev. Premajyothi Devi — experienced in presiding over memorial services, helping individuals design their own services, and offering grief support throughout the process — will guide participants through how to prepare thoughtfully and peacefully.

This is not simply about logistics.
It is about meaning, intention, and continuity.

🌿 Preparing Your Memorial Wishes

• Clarifying how you would like your life honored
• Spiritual, interfaith, or secular considerations
• Music, readings, rituals, and personal touches
• Writing your own memorial notes or guidance
• Relieving loved ones of difficult decision-making

🌿 Legacy Beyond the Service

• Supporting the missions and causes you cared about
• Legacy giving and charitable intentions
• Creating living memorials and acts of service
• Transforming grief into purposeful action

🌿 Supporting Survivors

• Helping family members feel steady rather than overwhelmed
• Creating clarity that reduces second-guessing
• Offering grief support throughout the process
• Turning remembrance into healing

Legacy is not only what we leave behind.
It is how love continues forward.

When we prepare in advance, memorials become expressions of gratitude rather than crisis management.

Clarity reduces burden.
Intention brings comfort.
