We have been honored at My Big Day to plan celebrations of life for a number of our clients. Planning an end-of-life event for a loved one is never easy, but we hope to inspire you with these 35 celebration of life toast ideas in their memory. A celebration of life is a ceremony celebrating a one-of-a-kind individual, your loved one. It is typically a casual, joyful, and touching event where friends and family gather to reminisce and share favorite memories of the deceased and celebrate a life well lived. A celebration of life usually follows a burial or cremation and may or may not be preceded by a formal funeral. Every time we are asked to plan a celebration of life, we treat the process and our clients with compassion, respect, and the utmost attention to detail.  35 Celebration of Life Toast Ideas Short, Simple Celebration of Life Toast Oh, here's to other meetings, And merry greetings then; And here's to those we've drunk with, But never can again. Celebration of Life Toast for a Fisherman There is certainly something in angling that tends to produce a serenity of the mind. Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains. Short Quotes for a Celebration of Life Sometimes you will never know the true value of someone until they become a memory. True friends are always together in spirit. It may be a long walk, but our paths will cross again. What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments but what is woven into the lives of others. Only a moment you stayed but what an imprint your footprints have left on our hearts. They that love beyond the world cannot be separated by it. Death cannot kill what never dies. Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy. . Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. A great soul serves everyone all the time. A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again. Wherever a beautiful soul has been, there is a trail of beautiful memories. I submit to you that if a man hasn’t discovered something he will die for, he isn’t fit to live. It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow up to be. It’s hard to turn the page when you know someone won’t be in the next chapter, but the story must go on. Death is more universal than life; everyone dies, but not everyone lives.  Nature-Inspired Celebration of Life Quotes Like a bird singing in the rain, let grateful memories survive in time of sorrow. Lives are like rivers: Eventually, they go where they must. Not where we want them to. For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one. If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk in my own garden forever. Inspirational Celebration of Life Toasts About Dying Too Young In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years. Only the good die young. Life is short. Always choose happiness. Some are bound to die young. By dying young a person stays young in people’s memory. If he burns brightly before he dies, his brightness shines for all time. As is a tale, so is a life. Not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.  Funny Celebration of Life Toast Ideas Dying is a very dull, dreary affair. And my advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it. I am ready to meet my maker. Whether my maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter. I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it. The idea is to die young as late as possible. Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It’s the transition that’s troublesome. Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people live. *********************************** According to most studies, people’s number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. They say such nice things about people at their funerals that it makes me sad to realize that I’m going to miss mine by just a few days. Amazing tradition. They throw a great party for you on the one day they know you can’t come. ***************************** Reach out to find out how we can help you plan a memorable celebration of life event as unique as your loved one.

Isolation and social distancing, while proven to help limit the spread of the virus, can also have long-term effects on individuals and society alike. One of the most visible social effects of this pandemic is the cancellation of many important milestone celebrations. This has been an issue that is at the forefront of our industry, but it has been felt far beyond. Milestones and events like weddings, graduations, anniversaries, birthdays, and funerals have all been impacted.  Why celebrating and acknowledging milestones is important: Celebrating milestones is how we as a society commemorate the progression of life. These celebrations serve as a connection - with family and friends and beyond. Missing these events can prove to be more than disappointing - they can affect emotional and social development milestones as well, especially in children and youth. While one benefit of social distancing is more dedicated time with family, we miss out on the connections with others that contribute to our development and emotional well-being. Important milestones are visual and experiential representations of growth. Without them, we miss opportunities for growth. Practical solutions: Cancelling important events and milestones can be hard to process - not just for children and youth, but for everyone involved. Milestones are typically “once-in-a-lifetime” events. Processing the disappointment of losing these moments is extremely difficult. Some strategies that might help ease the pain of these missed milestones are:
Ideas and recommendations for celebrating during Covid: As experts in the event planning industry, we have been tasked with coming up with creative solutions for celebrating milestones during these unprecedented times. We have developed and discovered ways in which our clients can safely celebrate life’s most important events. Here are just a few examples of alternative celebration opportunities: Birthdays We’ve already highlighted a variety of ways in which you can help someone feel special on their covid birthday. Our blog “10 COVID-Safe Ways to Make Your Child’s Birthday Special” is full of great ideas that can be adapted to celebrate someone at any age! Graduations Graduations bring a feeling of pride for both graduates and their families. Cancelled graduation ceremonies are difficult to replace, but there are some alternative options that will still allow you to celebrate these great accomplishments!
 Weddings If Covid has forced you to postpone your dream wedding and reception, why not consider the following as an alternative?
 Anniversaries While anniversaries tend to be celebrated by just the couple alone, COVID restrictions can still make planning a fitting celebration difficult. There are a ton of special date night options that can be planned to mark this milestone, but here are a few ideas that go beyond ordering in dinner and a movie:
Funerals Funerals might just be the most difficult event to miss. Families and friends often need the closure and social support that a funeral provides. Social distancing guidelines and the nature of a funeral make it even more difficult to plan. While postponing may be a viable option, some families might not want to delay or prolong this part of the grieving process.
Social Entertainment Just because you can’t frequent your favorite bar or restaurant together, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy some fun together while keeping safely apart!
When it comes to celebrating missed milestones, creativity provides limitless possibility. While we know that nothing will ever bring back the actual missed opportunities of these special moments, planning to intentionally acknowledge them is a good practice to adopt. Everyone deserves to celebrate these special times. If you would like help in planning a virtual milestone celebration, please reach out to our talented team of event planners and memory makers. We can help you plan an event that you and your family and friends will remember forever.
