Grief & Legacy Ceremonies

We offer ritual ideas and ceremony inspiration that can help mark individual and collective grief experiences.

The Importance of Acknowledging Grief

Grief is a reflection of love, and legacy is a way to carry that love forward. There are many ways to weave ritual into your life following a loss. These ceremonies can offer you ways to honour the love you hold and the stories you carry. Finding ways to acknowledge both the visible and invisible moments along the grief journey is so important to our wellbeing.

Scattering Ashes

I recently turned 30 years old and my mother died when she was 30. On the day that I was exactly the same age as she was when she died, I wanted to sanctify and honor this sacred and vulnerable space. I used Be Ceremonial to clarify my overall vision for how I wanted to feel, as well as how I wanted honor my mother and myself.

Mother Loss Ceremony

I loved that that whole experience felt very guided. I didn’t have to make too many difficult choices, but was also free to make my own adjustments. I liked all of the different suggestions and began to think of all of the many different ways I could use rituals!

Memorial Ceremony

Be Ceremonial’s Legacy Jar ritual gave me new insight into the power of ceremony as I helped plan a Celebration of Life for a friend. It also helped me think differently about how to introduce ritual into those simple, ordinary moments of everyday life.

Be Ceremonial turned me into a confident ceremonialist. The app gave me the structure, language, cadence, and confidence I needed to host this important grief & remembrance ceremony for my Mother-in-Law.
