BESPOKE FUNERALS

Bespoke Funerals | Cafe Mortel

An intimate exploration into the art of living and dying, guided by funeral creative director Ruby Cohen Love. As a creative studio and production company—not a traditional funeral home—we create ceremonies and experiences that challenge how society approaches mortality. We believe in giving commemoration the time it deserves to be beautiful and meaningful, unconstrained by conventional funeral timelines, unless our client's beliefs require specific timing.

A funeral is any action, intention, moment, or ceremony that honors someone who has died and provides catharsis for those who live. Our work spans three realms: honoring those who have passed, empowering the living to plan ahead, and creating thoughtful aftercare for those who remain—because death ends a life, but not a relationship.

Our Three Services:

Memorial Services

Creating meaningful tributes for those who have passed, from recent departures to commemorating death anniversaries - honoring their memory whether it's been months, years, or decades since they left us.Transform grief into celebration with ceremonies that genuinely reflect who they were. From gallery exhibitions of their treasures to immersive experiences around their passions, we create meaningful farewells that focus on joyful remembrance rather than traditional formulas. This is about creating space for true catharsis and ensuring their last celebration is as unique as they were.

Pre-Planning Services

Design your farewell while living. We spend a lifetime being individual—why be the same in death? Plan a funeral that truly celebrates who you are: a fashion exhibition, Michelin star dinner, or Amazon expedition. Choose to experience it as a living funeral rehearsal or keep it as your final farewell plan. Planning your funeral creates urgency to live the life you truly want while serving as an act of love to those you'll leave behind.


Living Funeral/Funeral Rehearsal Experience
Your own farewell while you're alive. Whether as a birthday celebration, life transition ritual, or simply to satisfy curiosity about your own mortality, we create immersive experiences that let you witness how you'll be remembered. A radical way to gain perspective on both death and life.​

Just as Greek tragedy originated from funeral rites, we're bringing theatre and art back to our ceremonies, transforming both life and loss into intentional acts of beauty.​ Each journey is individually orchestrated, honoring the delicate interplay between fear and possibility, memory and intention, the ephemeral and eternal.
