Celebration of Life Planning & Design

When everything feels unfinished, we help you begin — with structure, creativity, and space to honor your loved one.

Grief leaves more than memories — it leaves behind unfinished lists. At The Unfinished List, we help turn those lists into an unforgettable memorial experience. From planning the program and creating visual tributes that truly honor them, to designing a complete celebration of life, we pick up where things left off to create a day your loved one would be proud of.

why this exists

When you lose a loved one, life is suddenly filled with unfinished lists - tasks, plans, and moments that will never be completed. It’s overwhelming to face those alone.

The Unfinished List exists to help families carry what feels unfinished and transform it into something meaningful: a celebration of life and memorial experience that reflects your loved one and gives you space to grieve, remember, and be present.

With guidance, creativity, and care, we help you shape those unfinished lists into a day that feels right.


Let’s Make Something That Feels Right

If you don’t see what you need, We can help shape something custom.

Every tribute is different — and we’re here to make sure it feels true to the person you’re remembering.
