Services
At Life's Moments in Love, we specialize in offering holistic support for various life transitions. Our services include personalized wedding/vow renewal , compassionate funeral/memorial services, and compassionate caregiving and end-of-life doula care. We are here to guide and support you through these profound life experiences.
Wedding Officiant
Chaplain Rhonda Garnier lives in amazing Paris, Ontario and is happy to officiate weddings, commitment ceremonies or vow renewals. It is Rhonda’s priority to bring joy, grounding, confidence and humour to the couples she officiates for. It is her priority to honour your wishes and ensure your ceremony is a celebration of love and a time of joy for everyone.
End-of-Life Doula
It is my highest priority to keep the voice of the dying person as the guiding force in their own death. Each person’s path to death is unique. My skills and lived experiences mean that you can be assured that your wishes are protected and honoured and that your loved ones will be able to support your wishes and provide the love and peace throughout your end-of-life journey.
A “best death” may seem like a contradiction, but it is an important consideration. It may be a complex list of experiences and circumstances, or it may be a simple request honoured. It is yours to control and mine to support.
Funeral Celebrant
Rhonda is honoured to be in service to your family whether you choose to have a traditional funeral or memorial service at a funeral home, a graveside committal at a cemetery, or a celebration of life ceremony at the location or your choice (backyard, golf course, restaurant, or a local pub).
It is a priority to honour the important aspects of your loved one's life and curate a moment that generates joy and lives on in your hearts and memories.

What Our Clients Say
When our grandmother died, we didn't really know how it would impact us. Rhonda was there, she helped us understand the process and she was with her when we couldn't be. Rhonda was compassionate, supportive and knowledgeble. In the end, it we were able to truly celebrate our grandmother's life knowing we were able to provide her with the death she wanted.

She was the perfect wedding officiant! Her care and communication throughout the process gave us confidence to focus on the beautiful moments and not stress over the details or next steps. Working with Rhonda means you know you know you are in good hands and are being heard. It's your day but Rhonda helps make is happen!
