"Recently Jo Schechter of LifeStream Celebrations gave us a great
gift with her talents of bringing together our community of
staff, clients and family members for a client who recently
passed away. She outlined, planned and performed a beautiful
ceremony to honor him which was held in the chapel at Major
Family Funeral Home. She interviewed the staff and learned about
him in depth. She really captured who he was and brought his
special spirit to this celebration of his life. The staff made
beautiful flower arrangements and his special pictures were
displayed in the chapel. She incorporated the music he loved and
even had us dance in his honor as dancing was so much a part of
his self expression and passion for living. She created a very
safe space for everyone to share their reflections and love for
him. Both staff and his peers shared sensitive caring thoughts
and in great emotional depth about him. Even many of his peers,
who were not always able to be verbally articulate, were able to
fully express their love for him and their sorrow about his
loss. I know Jo to be supportive, gentle and clear in her
communication. I can recommend her for any life celebration or
memorial that you want help in creating. She will make it a very
personalized, caring, and a truly special experience."
