Passing on Values
Life is now... this day, this hour...and is probably the only experience of the kind one is to have.
—Charles Macomb Flandrau
Have you heard of Ethical Wills? An Ethical Will is a personal letter or document that passes on the values of the individual writing it.
When you write an Ethical Will, your spirit will be expressed in a permanent form, living beyond you in a timeless way, and your words will link generations of your family. You are sharing your story. Writing a document like this brings peace of mind and release. You can create one at any time, but many people find it comforting at times of great transition.
Celebrant Cindy Matchett creates a warm and loving ceremony for the family, in which the loved one’s words are presented, and his or her life is celebrated and honored. Family members can share favorite stories about their loved one, and read passages from beloved books. Special objects can decorate the room as you gather in this time of loving tribute.
A beautiful keepsake version of the document can be bound in one of Cindy’s handmade books for the family.
