Legacy & Lattes : Funerals of the Rich & Famous
Come join us for a unique and lively event where we celebrate the legacies of the rich and famous over lattes and good vibes!
Join us for the featured funeral of Mr. Fred Rogers.
We’re gathering to reflect on the life, legacy, and farewell of Mr. Fred Rogers, one of the most beloved and trusted figures in American culture.
Over coffee and conversation, we’ll explore how his quiet leadership, faith, kindness, and emotional honesty shaped generations. This conversation centers on how values, compassion, and intentional living leave a lasting imprint, long after a life ends.
Together, we’ll reflect on what it means to live in a way that is remembered with warmth, care, and meaning.
What to Expect

Through guided reflection and open dialogue, Holly creates space for curiosity, connection, and a more balanced understanding of end-of-life as part of the human experience.
