The Miron Wilson Difference

Northern Wake

The Northern Wake is our version of an Irish Wake. It is an informal “Northern Style” Celebration of Life. A Northern Wake will:
  • satisfy the wishes of the deceased by not having a funeral service
  • satisfy the needs for family and friends to recognize a life well lived, in a relaxed setting
  • be customized to reflect the life and passions of the deceased

Our Northern Wake Package will include cremation, all legal requirements and the wake. The wake will be totally customized and can include any of the following:
  • food and drink: wine and cheese, pizza and beer, what ever is appropriate
  • speeches: words by clergy, a short eulogy, story telling
  • a theme that reflects the loved one’s passions: sports, music, cars, motorcycles, pets, gardening, etc.
  • other entertainment: live music, a hockey game on TV
  • memory boards with photos and mementos
  • video montage
  • special events outside the funeral home: a game of pickup hockey, a small concert or "sing along", a motorcycle or classic car procession
  • anything else that would pay tribute to the life being celebrated
