Celebration of Life

In times of loss, it can be challenging to find the balance between grief and celebration. At 38north Design Co., we understand the importance of honoring a loved one's life in a way that truly reflects who they were. We believe in embracing the full spectrum of emotions that come with saying goodbye, from the tears of sorrow to the smiles of fond memories.

Recently, we had the privilege of organizing a celebration of life that beautifully captured this sentiment. The day began with a heartfelt service at the serene Sanctuary at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Tiburon. Thanks to modern technology, we were able to live stream the service, allowing distant friends and family to participate in honoring the departed soul.

After the service, guests gathered in Findlay Hall for a reception filled with love and reminiscence. To complement the atmosphere of togetherness, we curated a delightful grazing table in collaboration with Stylewise Catering, offering an array of flavors and bites that folks could enjoy easily while mingling with each other. This Girl Can Pour took charge of the beverage service, offering a selection of iced tea and refreshing lemonade along with a beautiful Rosé, all to raise a toast to a life well-lived.

It was a day of mixed emotions, of sharing stories and laughter through tears. We believe that in celebrating a life, we not only honor the memories of the departed but also find solace in the connections we share with each other. At our core, we strive to help our clients navigate these difficult times with grace and compassion, creating meaningful experiences that pay tribute to the richness of a life lived.

In the end, our celebration of life was a beautiful reminder that even in moments of sorrow, there is a profound beauty in coming together, cherishing the past, and looking towards a future where love and memories endure.

When it comes to handling all aspects of an event, especially in the sensitive context of memorial services, our mission is to alleviate the burden on our clients so they can focus their energy on what truly matters - their guests and family.

From caterers to florists, we handpick professionals who understand the importance of creating an atmosphere that celebrates the essence of the departed loved one. Selecting the right vendors is key to creating a seamless and meaningful event. We take pride in our meticulous vendor selection process, ensuring that each partner shares our vision of honoring a life with grace and respect.

On the day of the event, our dedicated team takes charge of all logistics, from setting up the venue to coordinating timelines and ensuring that every detail falls seamlessly into place. Our 20 years of event experience allows us to create + manage a stress-free environment for our clients and their guests.

One of our specialties lies in showcasing memorabilia and photos in a way that truly reflects the life and legacy of the departed. We take great care in curating large format signs, posters, and slideshows that capture the essence of the individual, creating a visual narrative that honors their journey. By combining these elements with carefully chosen florals, we craft a beautiful display that serves as a tribute to a life well-lived.

At the heart of our service is the commitment to allowing our clients to focus on what truly matters during a time of loss - cherishing memories, supporting loved ones, and finding solace in the shared experience of remembrance. By entrusting 38north with the details of the event, our clients can rest assured that every aspect of the day will be handled with empathy, professionalism, and a deep sense of reverence.
