Serenity Funeral Planning Consultants were so amazing with helping me with my mother's services. I know I could not have gotten through her services without the help of the consultant.

Our complimentary initial consultation is designed to understand your needs and help you with clear guidance and peace of mind—helping you with planning your choices without any pressure or obligation.
Entering a funeral home can be overwhelming, especially when families are unprepared and uncertain about the decisions they need to make for their loved ones. As a dedicated consultant, my goal is to help you navigate this challenging time with clarity, compassion, and support.
Our Traditional Funeral Planning Consultation is a personalized service designed to guide individuals and families through every step of planning a traditional funeral, including burial planning, before emotions, urgency, or sales pressure take over.
Our Cemetery Planning Consultation assists families in navigating the often confusing and costly process of selecting and purchasing cemetery property options—before emotions or sales pressure come into play.
Our cremation planning consultation helps families understand cremation options and navigate the many choices surrounding cremation—before decisions are made under pressure or during a crisis.
If you’re unsure whether you want a funeral, memorial, ceremony, or direct cremation or burial, we help you explore your options with clarity—no pressure, just honest guidance. Walk away with a plan that fits your values, wishes, and budget.

In 2024, I began writing my book, and in 2025, I published Empowered Funeral Planning: A Practical Guide to Planning Without Pressure—to help people everywhere understand the funeral planning process as if they were sitting down with a trusted advisor. The book covers every major aspect: funeral terminology, required vs. optional services, consumer rights, essential documents, and the decisions families often face, including cremation services. It even includes a planning worksheet at the back to help readers organize their wishes, outline next steps, and feel more prepared.
