for the service, and for always

A life, told beautifully.

A Celebration of Life booklet is the program for the service and a keepsake for everyone who loved them: their story, the photos that say who they were, the order of service and a thank-you from the family.

We know the timing matters. The print-ready booklet is usually ready within two days.

How it works

  1. Start it. Tell us whose life we're celebrating. You get a private link to come back to anytime.
  2. Share what you have. Their story in a few words, the photos you love, and the details of the service. Family members can help with the same link.
  3. We make it. We lay out the booklet from what you shared, and a real person checks every page.
  4. Read and approve. Change anything you like. When it's right, approve it and download the print-ready booklet. Order hardcover copies for the family if you'd like.

Questions

The service is soon. Will it be ready in time?

Most booklets are ready to print within two days of you sharing the details. If your service is sooner, write to us at hello@lavenderpost.com and we'll do our very best.

Can I print it at a local print shop?

Yes. You get a print-ready PDF that any print shop, office store or home printer can handle, as many copies as you need.

How long do hardcover copies take?

Hardcover keepsake copies are printed and shipped to you, usually within one to two weeks. They're meant to be kept, so most families order them for after the service.

Can other family members help?

Yes. Share your private link and they can add stories and photos too.

Who writes it?

Everything in the booklet comes from what your family shares, in your words. We arrange it into pages, and a person reviews every page before you see it. You can change any words before you approve.

Do you work with funeral homes?

We do. See our page for funeral homes.
