A proper send-off
Across Africa and the diaspora, a funeral is days of ceremony, not hours. PLVN holds every detail — quietly, with the dignity the moment asks for.
A celebration of life spans cities, countries, and days. PLVN gathers it into one place.
Family spread across borders, catering for hundreds, live music, custom cloth, logistics across several venues — held together so the family can grieve, and remember, in peace.
Three days, one plan
Wake-keeping
An evening vigil with family and the faith community. Hymns and tributes by candlelight; intimate seating, catering, and low-light coverage arranged.
Burial & celebration
The main day. Interment, tributes, and a reception for hundreds — brass band, buffet, custom cloth for the family, one MC running the programme.
Thanksgiving
A closing service, smaller and quieter. Final coordination with the officiant, ushers, and refreshments to send everyone home.
The whole of it, in one place
Multi-day scheduling
Wake, burial, and thanksgiving on one timeline — each day's tasks and deadlines tracked, all of it visible at once.
Burial cloth
Who orders the cloth, which designer, quantities by family branch, pickup and distribution. No one arrives in the wrong colour.
Guests & seating
Hundreds of arrivals across venues and days — RSVPs, seat assignments, the delegation table — held without a spreadsheet.
Vendors
Caterer, brass band, funeral home, photography, canopy, sound — booked and briefed from one workspace, timelines confirmed.
Every hand you need
For families under pressure
Planning a funeral while grieving is among the hardest things a family does. PLVN carries the load — so the work can be shared, from Accra or from abroad, and nothing slips.
Responsibilities assigned to family and committee heads. Everyone knows what they own.
Contributions and spending visible to all. Disputes prevented before they start.
One live schedule for the day — MC, caterer, and coordinator all reading the same page.
