You’re in the right place

I started New Narrative because I needed help with planning an event that was completely new to me: my uncle’s celebration of life.

Since 2017, I have dedicated my career to helping families all over the world take an emotionally daunting task and create a timeless tribute for the important people in their lives.

This consultation gives you direct access to years of experience, hundreds of creative ideas, and templates to guide you through what can be a very daunting process.

Let us lighten the load for you and your family.

  • The one thing I wanted to make sure we were able to put together for our father's celebration of life was a great slideshow tribute and you and your team did exactly that. We are greatly appreciative for all your help and consultation over the past month.
