Places to hold a Celebration of Life in Colorado
Holding a Celebration of Life or Memorial for a loved on involves making decisions at a time you may not be feeling focused or clear-headed. It’s one reason why hiring a funeral celebrant can be so helpful!
In addition to choosing someone to officiate your memorial service, one of the biggest decisions you’ll make is choosing an appropriate place for people to gather. It’s an important aspect of putting together the event.
There are many factors to consider when choosing a venue for your memorial. For example:
How many people might attend?
Would you like to include food or hors d’oeuvres for a reception afterwards? Drinks?
Will you need speakers for music or AV equipment for a slide show?
Will a microphone be needed?
How many tables for photo’s and other memorabilia?
Will you request a military honor guard to honor your loved ones sacrifice and service?
Here are a few venues for a Celebration of Life venues in Colorado I’ve used that have worked well for others:

- The Barn at Evergreen Memorial Park, Evergreen, CO
- Shupe Homestead, Longmont, CO
- Chatfield Farms Botanical Gardens, Littleton, CO
Want to keep it your celebration small and simple? Other options worth exploring include your local community center, a nearby clubhouse , reserving space at a park, or holding the service in your home.
Availability, finances, and logistics all play a role in deciding where to hold a Celebration of Life for your loved one. It can be helpful having a professional guide you and your family in discovering what works best for your family.
