Levels of accompaniment
What we offer is not one-size-fits-all. Instead of fixed packages, Farewell offers levels of accompaniment that scale based on what is most helpful to you.
What We Offer
Every loss is different and carries with it a different level of capacity, complexity, and need.
For this reason, we offer levels of accompaniment that scale based on scope, coordination, and the complexity involved.
Everyone we work with begins at the presence level, our foundational phase focused on listening, orientation, and planning. From there we may adjust to the level that is most helpful. At the highest level of accompaniment, we offer extended planning & creative production.
-
The Presence Level Includes:
Begins at $75060–90 minute intake and orientation conversation
A clear memorial framework (flow, tone, key decisions, next steps)
Guidance on venue and vendor decisions (no booking or management)
One revision or follow-up call
Light email support for 7–14 days
A simple “what happens when” preparation outline
Referrals to therapeutic, spiritual, or community support.
This is the foundational guidance that everyone receives from the start.
You can always add more guidance if needed. if you’re looking for structure and support, but are able to handle logistics on your own, this level may be all you need. -
The Meaning Level Includes everything from the presence level plus:
Begins at $2,000Design of the memorial flow and overall experience
Support shaping readings, reflections, or shared moments
Guidance on music, visuals, and symbolic elements
Coordination with up to 2–3 contributors (speakers, readers, musicians)
Written support for eulogy or story development (outline + collaborative editing)
Program content and layout guidance (printing handled separately)
At this level of accompaniment, you receive guided memorial design. With additional planning and materials, we can take the memorial to a more meaningful level.

Begins at $9,000Multiple story-gathering conversations with friends, colleagues, or community members
