Certified Celebrant
Nancy DeLeo, Certified Celebrant

Nancy DeLeo has been officiating at services at White Haven since completing the training and receiving her certification in September of 2008. She has gained the respect and appreciation of numerous families for whom she has created beautifully expressive tributes that have memorialized their loved ones in such a way as to be remembered for a lifetime. She has even conducted a memorial service for a beloved pet. Nancy’s passion for her work here at White Haven is only surpassed by her empathetic, warm way of caring and supporting all of the families who are with her at such a fragile time.

Butterfly Releases

Butterfly Releases are performed at White Haven by Nancy DeLeo, who was certified by the Association for Butterflies as a Butterfly Release Professional in December of 2010. During the warmer months she offers the healing experience of beautiful, live butterfly releases at White Haven, incorporating them into memorial services or other celebrations. The releases utilize the butterfly’s transformational stages through life, and their live release in flight, to symbolize the similar journey of a loved one’s soul through this world and on to whatever one believes is next.

“Taking Strides Together” Walking Program

Each Wednesday at 2:00 p.m., Nancy DeLeo facilitates a weekly grief support walking group that hikes around the park during the spring, summer and fall, and continues to meet during the winter months for the same conversation, companionship and support. This walking program is a great way to ‘get back on one’s feet again’ in more ways than one. Nature, exercise, fresh air or even that occasional cup of tea or coffee together, all combine perfectly with the casual conversation of those who are ‘walking the same path’. All are welcome to join this existing group. Additional groups may be formed as needed.
