A first conversation
No commitment, no rush. You tell us who it is about and what you have in mind. If we think you don't need anything we offer, we'll say so.
We gather the life of someone you love and turn it into something that stays: a book, a portrait, the words spoken at the funeral.
Thirty years from now someone in your family will open a book, look at a portrait or repeat a phrase without knowing where it came from. Everything we do is so that, on that day, they know exactly who they're talking about.
Memoirs written by a professional, portraits and sculptures. A milestone birthday, a golden wedding, a retirement: the gift for someone who already has everything.
A letter to your family, the practical instructions nobody can find on the day they're needed, and your digital estate. And, if you wish, part of what you have carrying on doing good afterwards.
A professional celebrant writes and delivers the words of that farewell, secular or spiritual. A script prepared with the family, not a template that fits anyone.
The space, the music, the flowers, the food and the gathering afterwards. For the day to look like the person doesn't happen by itself: it takes preparing. We coordinate with the funeral home you already have.
Every person leaves behind a way of laughing, four stories told a thousand times and a handful of things only they knew how to say. ARBORA exists to gather all of it while there is still time: we write it, paint it, sculpt it and say it out loud. So that twenty years from now their grandchildren know who they are talking about.
It all begins with someone sitting down and listening. The book, the document and the words on the day all come from there.
No commitment, no rush. You tell us who it is about and what you have in mind. If we think you don't need anything we offer, we'll say so.
Specific options at fixed prices, all-inclusive and in writing.
We write, illustrate, coordinate venues and suppliers or prepare the script, depending on the case. You look after what matters.
A book, a portrait, an ordered document, words spoken out loud. Something that stays in the house.
Free, practical guides on the things nobody explains until they happen to you.
You've been asked to speak at a funeral in two days. The structure that works and how to read it on the day without breaking down.
LegacyFive options that actually work when the person no longer wants objects, and the real lead times for each.
Whether you're preparing a gift, want to put things in order, or something has just happened: write or call. The first conversation is free and commits you to nothing.
If someone has just died and you need help right now, call us directly. If we can't answer at that moment, we'll call you back the same day.
Received. We'll call you within 24 hours.
