EVERY SOUL LEAVES BEHIND A UNIQUE TRAIL OF LOVE, LAUGHTER, AND LEGACY.

At COLT Event Design — short for Circle of Life Tribute — we create modern, meaningful memorials that celebrate the full vibrancy of a life lived.

Born from lived experience and deep reverence, we offer elevated design, storytelling, and event support to transform the end of life into a sacred honoring of the soul’s journey. Whether you’re seeking a heartfelt keepsake, a custom tribute, or a full Celebration of Life experience, we’re here to walk beside you.

Beauty, Reverence, and Storytelling

in Three Simple Tiers…

Essence Kit

Choose from professionally crafted templates you can personalize with photos and names. Thoughtful, fast, and beautiful.

Custom Tribute

Work with us to create printed materials, keepsakes, and mementos tailored to your loved one’s story, values, and essence.

Full Celebration of Life

A deeply immersive design and planning experience for Celebration of Life events, including custom programs, eulogies, visuals, and rituals.

Where sacred meets soulful.

Story-First Design

We don’t do cookie-cutter. Every tribute is built to reflect the person’s full life — not just their passing.

Modern & Inclusive Aesthetic

We prioritize thoughtful design over generic, impersonal visuals. Our designs reflect a global, spiritual, human-centric approach.

Spacious, Supportive Process

We know grief can be overwhelming and personal. We make this part easier — with clarity, empathy, and a deep breath.

Why I Created COLT...

When my nephew departed, I stood in a funeral parlor surrounded by design that did not resonate with who Terry WAS, which made for impossible choices that didn’t feel like it spoke of the person he used to be. I knew there had to be another way. I made a bookmark that people still carry to this day — and wrote the first of many eulogies that helped people feel, remember, and heal.

I didn’t know it then, but this work had already chosen me. COLT is my answer to a broken system. It’s where grief meets beauty, and where design becomes a vessel for love.
