Living Funeral Planning Form

A living funeral—sometimes called a "celebration of life while living"—is a powerful way to gather the people who matter most, hear the stories and words that are usually saved for eulogies, and create meaningful closure on your own terms. Whether you're facing a terminal diagnosis, entering a new life chapter, or simply want to celebrate your relationships while you can still be present, this Living Funeral Planning Form helps you design a deeply personal ceremony that reflects your values, preferences, and the connections you hold dear.

This form is built for individuals and families who want to approach end-of-life planning with openness, intention, and celebration. It's also a valuable resource for grief counselors, hospice workers, life coaches, and event coordiners who support clients through this profound process.

What makes this form different? Unlike traditional funeral planning, you're at the center of the experience—selecting guests, choosing how you want to be remembered, curating the atmosphere, and facilitating the conversations that matter most. With Paperform, you can collect guest confirmations, story submissions, dietary preferences, and logistical details all in one beautifully branded form that feels personal, not administrative.

Use conditional logic to tailor questions based on celebration style (intimate gathering vs. larger event), integrate with calendar tools for scheduling, and even collect photos or video messages from guests who can't attend in person. After submissions, use Stepper (stepper.io) to automate follow-ups, send personalized thank-you notes, or compile guest stories into a keepsake book.

Whether you're planning your own living funeral or helping a loved one create this experience, Paperform gives you the flexibility, warmth, and control to make it truly meaningful.
