Abigail loves guiding and co-creating legacy projects and life reviews that authentically capture the essence of each person. Their stories, relationships, values, humor, wisdom, and the moments that have shaped their lives. These projects are thoughtfully tailored to the individual and may include songwriting, recorded oral histories, legacy letters, ethical wills, guided life-review interviews, bespoke photo and memory archives in physical or digital formats, memorial or legacy website creation, family recipe collections, memory books, video tributes, curated playlists, personalized keepsakes, and projects created especially for children and future generations. Whether preserving a lifetime of stories, celebrating meaningful relationships, or creating something tangible to leave behind, Abigail helps people transform memories and experiences into enduring expressions of who they are and what they want those they love to remember.

Abigail offers personalized celebrant services that honor each person’s life, relationships, values, and wishes with intention and authenticity. From co-crafting your own eulogy, obituary, memorial ceremony, or celebration of life to creating meaningful traditions, readings, and personal touches, Abigail helps ensure your voice and story remain at the heart of how you are honored. She also provides day-of ceremony services, including officiating, ceremony coordination, family support, and behind-the-scenes assistance, allowing loved ones to be fully present while every meaningful detail is thoughtfully cared for.

Abigail plans and facilitates Last Hoorah Celebrations, more commonly known as living funerals—intentional gatherings that give people the rare opportunity to be present for the celebration of their own life. Each event is thoughtfully co-created to reflect the person at the center of it, whether that means an intimate dinner at home, a backyard celebration, a room filled with music and storytelling, or a full-scale event that brings together the people, places, food, and traditions that have made life meaningful.
Whether twenty people gather at home or two hundred fill a venue, the purpose remains the same: to bring people together, honor relationships and memories, share the stories that matter, and celebrate a beautiful life while the person at the center of it can be part of the experience.
From initial concept development through day-of production, Abigail provides thoughtful planning, coordination, and facilitation. Services may include venue and vendor coordination, event design, food and music planning, personalized experiences, storytelling elements, collaboration with loved ones, ceremony facilitation, and day-of event management. For celebrations held at home, Abigail can thoughtfully transform a familiar space and coordinate the details needed to create a beautiful, meaningful gathering while honoring the comfort, wishes, and needs of the person being celebrated.
