Memorial planning can be heavy.
We're here to make it lighter.

Services
Lighten is a team of professionals who are experts in putting together personalized memorial services, virtually and in person.
Together, let’s honor and celebrate the life of your loved one.
FUNERALS, DONE DIFFERENTLY
We believe a funeral should be an uplifting Celebration of Life.
And we believe the cookie-cutter funeral home isn't cutting it anymore.
Families should have better options—and be empowered to plan an event that reflects their loved one unique qualities.
That's why we created Lighten.
