Gifts of Life Ceremonies, founded by Life-Cycle Celebrant® and End-of-Life Doula Valerie Nicholas, offers deeply personalized rituals to honor life transitions, with a special focus on living funerals—joyful celebrations held while the honoree is still alive. Drawing from her background in hospice care and spiritual practice, Valerie co-creates ceremonies that blend story, ritual, and meaning to reflect each person’s values, beliefs, and legacy. Her services range from memorials and ethical wills to pet farewells and healing rituals, all crafted to bring connection, peace, and celebration.
