  • "At a time when we could not think clearly enough, Christina was able to bring clarity and imagination into focus for us. It was the perfect Farewell, honouring my husband, his family, friends and his life’s work."

    -P. Antoniak

  • "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."

    -B. Johnson

  • "Collaborating with New Narrative to support a family in their most vulnerable days means having an expert at your side. Christina and her team will ensure that all of the tech and finer details are taken care of, so that you have the space and energy to focus entirely on the community's needs in the moment."

    -Emily Bootle (funeral director)

  • "The event story flow, and the interactivity with the candles and the word cloud linking through the event were again frequently held up as a great design piece that helped the isolated at home individuals and family feel like they were significantly part of a larger collective event, even though they could not be present in person."

    -Adrian Cook

  • "...During the event she seemed to have this uncanny knack of making herself invisible. She was there, making sure everything ran perfectly… but she made sure to step back and really let the event be about our friend and his family and loved ones. It was stealthy. It was perfect."

    -Aimee Ayotte

  • "It ended up being a wonderful day that I will remember forever. I laughed and cried and remembered all the wonderful times we had with Jacob, and for that 'I'll be grateful to you for the rest of my life!"

    -A. Robson Nuss

  • "I recommend New Narrative without reservation. Their understanding and professionalism made the entire process a meaningful and comforting memorial journey."

    -L. Braun

  • "It has been an incredible experience, and that it came through so well was because of your guidance and skill in working with families who have to navigate not only the many details and actions required in the planning, but also the process of losing their beloved."

    -L.V.

  • "I valued most her ability to not only take care of what needed to be done, but to work collaboratively with our whole family so that the event perfectly reflected our vision. Everybody who attended commented on how the event felt flawless, effortless. The energy in the room was wonderful."

    -A. Kenyon
