Honor & Tribute Gifts
At the Center for Conscious Living & Dying, giving in honor or memory of someone you love is an act of Conscious Generosity.
Your gift carries their story forward — sustaining our Sanctuary where others can find tenderness, guidance, and belonging at life’s threshold.
​
Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, remembering a life, or simply paying it forward, your contribution becomes part of the circle of care that holds every resident, family, volunteer, and learner who comes through our red door.
Options for Tribute Giving
Honor Angelversaries or Birthdays
Mark the anniversary of a loved one’s passing, or honor a birthday or meaningful milestone, by offering a gift that keeps their light alive. Your generosity supports compassionate care and helps weave their memory into the ongoing life of this community.
​
Celebrate how someone lived, loved, and inspired you. A tribute gift in their name becomes part of a living legacy — sustaining the bedside presence, learning, and hospitality that touch every person who comes through our doors.
​
In Place of Flowers
Flowers fade, yet generosity endures. When friends and family give to CCLD instead of sending flowers, their kindness and generosity extends the circle of care, helping others receive support at life’s threshold. If you would like to include this in your loved one’s obituary, please email giving@ccld.community
​
Pay It Forward
If someone dear to you received support from CCLD, a “pay it forward” gift ensures that the same depth of tenderness and guidance will be available for the next family. Each offering becomes a quiet promise that no one walks this path without love. For creative ideas to enlist your family and friends contributing memorials for your loved one, contact Courtney Smith, Director of Development at 828-329-0823 or email giving@ccld.community

Our Gratitude
We will also send a heartfelt note to the person or family you designate, letting them know a gift has been made in their honor (no amounts are mentioned. That is kept confidential).
When you give in someone’s name, you extend the warmth of their life into the lives of others.
Thank you for helping CCLD continue to offer love, guidance, and presence to all who seek comfort at the end of life.
