About Life's Circle
Life’s Circle specializes in ceremonies for all your most precious life events. Our inspirational services are person-centered, spiritually meaningful, and based on your religious, semi-religious, or secular beliefs.
What is especially unique about a Life’s Circle ceremony is the concentrated time I spend with a family to create an inspirational, life-centered, special service or event, which is focused on the story of a person’s life.
Like all gifted storytellers, I pay attention to the words, the gestures, and the type of information people give me. I use prose, music, poetry and scripture to professionally write, and officiate a service or ceremony that you will cherish.
—Jim Lauder, D.Min., SFO, Ordained Celebrant
