We'll help you create a memorial event or life celebration. We’ll also help you re-think and re-do a past funeral that wasn’t satisfactory.
Fitting Tribute will help you orchestrate any sort of in-person or streamed life celebration with the assistance of the folks at Muldowney Memorials. We'll help you email invitations to your guests, book musical talent, manage your slide show with beautifully scanned photos, and help you with scripture, poetry and tech support for the gathering at a venue that perfectly suits the individual we’re honoring.
Some families want the urn of cremated remains to be present, some wish to rent a boat for a scattering service, others plan an outdoor, catered life commemorating meal with loving eulgogies, toasts and salutes. We'll help you organize the gathering to place an urn into a cemetery niche, or think out the earth burial of an urn with subsequent gravestone unveiling.
For a "living funeral,” we can help you assemble a heart-centered tribute with testimonials flowing both ways while someone with a terminal diagnosis is still alive. For someone quite elderly or frail, the recognition of a significant birthday serves this same function. It is the fantasy of an increasing number of gravely ill people to be able to attend their own life celebration service. They want to say goodbye to you too. Now they can. We'll help you think it out and share with you our thoughts and experiences.
The food doesn't have to be complicated. We're fond of serving sparkling water, tea, coffee and butterfly cookies.
"...When we have joy we crave to share, we remember them. When we have achievements that are based on theirs, we remember them. For as long as we live, they too will live, for they are now a part of us as we remember them."

A memorial event at Brooklyn’s Botanic Garden.
Fitting Tribute Memorial Events recently helped a family plan a gorgeous gathering in the auditorium of The Brooklyn Museum, which can seat more than 300 people. We felt honored to witness a remarkable first--a husband's eulogy as loving Powerpoint presentation with tears and humor, a splendid and fitting salute to his wife's life, artistically lived.
Ceremonial Hall, New York Society for Ethical Culture, 2017.
Renowned sports statistician Robert Rosen was honored by business associates, family members and friends at Green-Wood Cemetery in 2017. Fitting Tribute also built out a marvelous obituary tribute that included photos of Bob, articles from the NYTimes and The New Yorker, as well as the video of Bob's death being announced at an NBA game by Mike Breen, the lead broadcaster for the Knicks.
