What Families Are Saying: 

"We looked at other services but chose this one for the hands-on management and coordination of the event. The GatheringUs event was a tremendous success! We can’t thank you enough for all you have done for us to come together virtually as a family across borders during these challenging times! A big warm hug from our family to the GatheringUs team!" - Theresa W.

"They take over, during a great time of confusion and stress, to provide the structure for creating a beautiful memorial service. They deal with all the technical details, and much more. They do this all with grace and kindness. This was a paradigm shift for us, but was the best choice to celebrate my mom's life. We had over 150 people join in...from airports, Canada, California, work locations and more. It was perfect and brought a wonderful sense of closure!"   –  Shannon S.

"GatheringUs helped us create an absolutely beautiful Celebration of Life for my husband of 40 years. The event allowed friends and family from all over the country to join the event. How wonderful that was for us. In addition, they provide a memorial page that will be there forever and a video of the event and the slideshow were posted on the site and available for downloading so we can view it whenever we’d like to. The experience with our planner and GatheringUs lessened our suffering and optimized our joy and softened our pain. Truthfully the process couldn’t have been any easier for us." – Cindy J.

"They made what would normally be a difficult process easy. Our planner was great to work with and very accommodating of our requests and needs. The event was VERY well-received. Many people who attended spoke to me later and expressed how great the event was." – James G.

"We would not have been able to have such a meaningful, personal, beautiful Celebration of Life for my father without GatheringUs! It was a pleasure to work with them, and they guided us through every step of turning our general ideas into exactly the type of event we wanted. They also provided a Memorial webpage to which we could easily upload photos, videos, comments and stories, accessible to us and all our event guests. They were flexible, gracious, and accommodating throughout. I have no hesitation in recommending GatheringUs very highly!" – Lane H.

"The team at GatheringUs not only took care of all the logistical and technical challenges, they had wonderful suggestions to increase the sense of community. They took most of the stress off me so I could plan the memorial my mother deserved." – Kelly F.
