Vigil Planning

Bringing intention and care to your final days.

A vigil is the time of active dying—the final days or hours of life. It can be a space of deep presence, quiet connection, or meaningful ritual. Vigil Planning helps you and your loved ones prepare for that time with clarity, calm, and care.

We'll explore your preferences around:

  • Environment—lighting, music, scents, and comfort

  • Who you want present and how they can support you

  • Rituals, readings, or spiritual practices that bring meaning

  • Communication and presence—touch, silence, conversation

  • Timing, caregiving, and coordination with others

Together, we’ll shape a plan that honors your values, supports your loved ones, and helps everyone feel more prepared.

This service is for anyone who:

  • Wants a clear vision for their final days

  • Hopes to ease anxiety for themselves and loved ones

  • Has specific wishes around space, visitors, or rituals

  • Wants to empower their community to show up with confidence

  • Is supporting someone nearing death and needs guidance

You do not need to be actively dying to benefit. Many find peace in planning ahead.

Who This Is For

What To Expect

  • Clarifies roles among loved ones

  • Creates an atmosphere of peace and intention

  • Helps families feel more confident and connected

You'll receive:

  • A written Vigil Plan Summary

  • Optional coaching for loved ones or chosen support people
