e-Bituaries

Heartfelt Stories

Goodbye experience planning is giving our guests more control than ever. With an increasing desire to have a say, more and more guests are including a well thought out e-bituary. An e-bituary identifies and communicates to the community, the passing of a wonderful life and announces visitation, Remembrance Gathering or memorial information.


When writing the e-bituary it's important to capture heartfelt moments, sharing a life history, recounting accomplishments, including hobbies, interests and memberships enjoyed for years and of course the people who were near and dear. E-bituaries should be a crafted, meaningful tribute that convey personality clearly introducing celebrations and other relevant information.


Due to high cost, demanding deadlines and potential, unnecessary, extended wait periods for newspaper publishing, more and more guests are choosing a longer, in-depth and highly detailed heartfelt story that is posted here online. Our “e-bituaries” are immediately available to tag, share, email and print. Our "E-bituaries" engage friends, family and our community by including a tribute wall of photographs and an online video with no additional fees.


NOTICE - Obituary and funeral service information that appear on other websites have no connection to Creran Celebration Etherington & Creran Funeral Homes or crerancelebration.com. 


Several third-party obituary aggregator websites use AI algorithms to scrape content from funeral home websites. Often, the information posted is inaccurate and outside the control of Creran Celebration. It is always best to rely on
crerancelebration.com or the funeral home's social media including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for continual up-to-date information. Our guests can always subscribe for e-mailed e-bituary alerts at crerancelebration.com
