About Christina
Founder, Principal Event Planner
New Narrative Memorials
Christina is a funeral director and the founder of New Narrative Memorials. She started the company in 2017, after planning a celebration of life for a family member on very short notice.
That experience showed her how much a family needs a steady guide, and it set the direction for everything the company does since. New Narrative has now supported more than 500 families. The work covers venue sourcing, vendor coordination, program creation, and technical direction on the day.
Her background in theatre, stage management, and event production shapes how she runs a room, from the first run-through to the last guest leaving. If you could not attend in Charlotte, this page is the place to start.
The session
What the session covers
Families ask for celebrations of life in more places than ever. Many arrive with a clear picture of the gathering and little sense of what it involves or what it costs. The session looks at how to shape that first conversation, define what a celebration includes, and present it on the General Price List so families can compare their choices with confidence.
What belongs in a celebration of life?
Where the boundaries sit, and what each level of service includes.
How do you open the first conversation?
The questions that reveal what a family values before anything is priced.
How do you write it onto the price list?
Plain wording that lets a family see each option and what it covers.
Warmly, Christina
