No, Departies does not handle the remains of the deceased. Departies are held in addition to, or in place of traditional services. Put simply: we plan celebrations, not funerals.

Anytime. If you are having traditional funeral services such as a viewing and/or burial services, we recommend scheduling your After Party a little later, perhaps two weeks or a month. Some choose the deceased loved one's next birthday as an ideal time.

In some cases, you might choose to limit the initial services to a smaller group of family and close friends, while inviting a larger group to the big After Party. Some even choose to schedule an After Party up to a year later, on the anniversary of their loved one's passing.

If you are planning a Here-After Party, where the guest of honor will be in attendance, obviously the timing is totally up to you.

Here is what is always included in your After Party or Here-After Party planning:

​

• Securing your event location - you help pick the location and we'll take care of the rest.

• Food & Beverage Service. See our Party Services page for more information, including all of our optional party services.

• DJ or Live music.

• Customized door prize "Lottery" game, including prizes for three winners

• Our signature "Bid Farewell" Auction event.

• A custom slideshow of up to 30 photos and/or videos of your guest of honor, to be displayed at your party.

• Customized "Departing Gifts" for all party guests featuring the image/likeness of the guest of honor.

• A Departies Certified Planner who will work with you hand-in-hand, from start to finish.

​

There are also additional optional services, including an interactive "This Was Your Life" trivia game, and a humorously fictitious "biography" documentary of the guestof honor to bring an extra jolt of levity to the party. For a full list of optional services you can choose from, see our Party Services page.

Absolutely. Much like you might create living will or pre-purchase a burial plot, you can plan your After Party now and designate a time period after your passing when you'd like to have the party held. This takes all the burden off your loved ones at the time of your passing, whenever it may be... even if it's many, many years down the road. To learn more about this option, please contact us and we'll be happy to share details.
