About Rev. Peter Preble

In per­haps one of the most dif­fi­cult times in your life you are also sud­denly faced with the need to plan a funeral and cre­ate a mean­ing­ful trib­ute – an End of Life Cer­e­mony for someone you love.

Family and friends are all gathered in the same place at the same time in a caring and comforting setting. All share together in a spiritually meaningful, carefully created ritual which celebrates the life of your loved one, yet does not deny the often overwhelming sadness of the occasion. Even in the face of profound loss, it is possible to step into life, again, as we join together in tribute to our loved one’s memory. This is the first step to healing.

Together we will find readings, poems, music and ritual that weave the web that was their life. Within this web are all of your loved one’s relationships – with you and other family members, their friends, and colleagues. All of these relationships are highlighted during the service when guests are invited to share their personal stories, sentences or words. Finally, as part of my gold-standard of excellence, you are assured the final approval of the ceremony prior to
the service.

Whether the deceased honoree is religious, secular, interfaith or simply unaffiliated with a particular religion, I specialize in creating and officiating personalized, dignified, and memorable Celebrations of Life.
