Baby Blessing/Baby Naming Ceremony

It has been a great joy to lead families in a Baby Naming or Baby Blessing Ceremony. A child is blessed by its family with every loving touch, gesture, sacrifice, dream and hope. Make this reality explicit in ritual! Involve family and loving caregivers who surround your child.

“Ann Marie worked closely with our family to craft a beautiful Baby Blessing Ceremony, that our family still talks about to this day. Her patience and ability to weave our family stories with the faith and grace that accompanies such a ceremony is a true skill. Ann Marie will not only make your day flow seamlessly, but will create a day that you will never forget. We had the privilege of having Ann Marie officiate at our 3 Baby Blessings, and each was as unique and beautiful as each of our children.” Neda & Kevin

Memorial Service

When a family does not have a religious background or connection or when a family lives at a distance from funeral services, they may choose to have a memorial service to honor a loved one. Incorporating family memories and stories into a ritual helps to mark the end of a life and the change in life situations for those who grieve.

"I treasure the comfort you have so graciously given
me and will forever be grateful for the sincerity and
dignity you brought to my brother's burial service.
From my heart I thank you on behalf of my family."
