FAQs
What kinds of funeral and memorial services does Aurelia Grove offer?
Aurelia Grove specializes in bespoke, non-traditional, and spiritually inclusive funeral and memorial ceremonies. We offer end-of-life celebrations, eco-conscious memorials, home-based funerals, grief rituals, and personalized legacy tributes. Whether you're looking for a sacred farewell in nature, a storytelling-centered celebration of life, or a ritual-infused gathering that honors diverse spiritual traditions, we co-create each ceremony to reflect the values and personality of your loved one.
Are your funeral services religious, spiritual, or secular?
Our ceremonies are always personalized to your family’s beliefs. We specialize in interfaith, spiritual-but-not-religious, and secular funeral services, as well as rituals rooted in earth-based and ancestral traditions. Whether you want to honor a specific religious path, blend multiple traditions, or keep things entirely non-religious, we ensure every element feels authentic and respectful.
What makes Aurelia Grove different from a traditional funeral home?
We are not mortuary providers—we collaborate with you (and your chosen funeral director, if applicable) to create heart-centered, bespoke memorial experiences that go far beyond standard templates. Aurelia Grove offers independent, personalized funeral officiation and ceremony design, outside of any specific venue or industry constraints. Our work is rooted in decades of end-of-life care experience, ceremony officiation, spiritual companionship, and grief support.
Do you offer grief support after the funeral?
Absolutely. In addition to officiating memorials, we offer grief counseling, meaning-making sessions, and community events for ongoing remembrance. Our founder, Claire “Chuck” Bohman, is a board-certified chaplain and spiritual counselor with over a decade of experience supporting families through the tender terrain of loss and healing. You can read more about our grief service here.
How much do your funeral officiation and planning services cost?
Our pricing reflects the time, care, and customization involved in each ceremony. Most families invest between $1,500 and $5,000 depending on the level of support, location, and complexity. We offer a free 20-minute ceremony planning call to discuss your needs and provide a custom quote. Transparent pricing and value-aligned service are central to our approach.
