End of Life Celebrations at Keep Tryst Manor

Knoxville, MD, across the Shenandoah River from Harpers Ferry, WV

Honoring a Loved One with a Special End of Life Celebration

End of Life Celebrations are a new kind of memorial that honors the legacy of a loved one who has passed on, and celebrates the life that they led. It tells the story of the person who lived and loved well. It is not a funeral, and is not the traditional way of saying goodbye.

A New Alternative

Traditionally, friends and family gather for a viewing and a funeral, followed by a reception after. The choices and locations are few, and the costs are traditionally very high.

We offer an entirely new way of creating and hosting a celebration of life. Many people do not want a conventional or religious service, and many do not want a viewing after death. Some people are not being traditionally buried, opting instead for cremation. This creates the need for a new way of hosting a memorial outside of a funeral home, but without the extensive planning and work of creating a self-catered and organized event.

End of Life Celebrations offers a way of saying goodbye that allows you to celebrate with your guests, in a natural, beautiful environment. Let us host your event on our historic property near Harpers Ferry, WV, and take care of all of the details, from flowers to catering and music. We have Packages available to suit every need and budget.
