Personalized memorials and celebrations of life

At Dignity Memorial Life Celebration Center at Wildwood, we believe that every service should be as unique as the life lived. We capture the essence of your loved one to create an event that honors your special person and gives friends and family a chance to come together and remember.

Perhaps it’s a barbecue in honor of the pit master, complete with live music and bottles of homemade sauce for guests to take home. Maybe it's a sun-and-sand fete for a beloved beachcomber. Or perhaps it's a quiet outdoor scattering ceremony with the closest family and friends. No matter your wish, no matter the detail, we handle it all.

Whether you want to arrange a traditional funeral service or modern celebration of life, large gathering or more intimate service, we will work with you one-on-one to ensure your needs and budget are met. From floral arrangements to music selections, decor, mementos and more, we guide you through your choices with care.

Cremation options

Not everyone knows that there are many cremation options. If you're interested in cremation, we can explain the process and your various choices. From a simple cremation without a memorial service or witness cremation to a full funeral service and catered reception, we help you understand this increasingly common choice and handle all of the cremation arrangements.

A party venue with catering and the latest technology

Every inch of our newly developed 7,000-square-foot space was thoughtfully designed with families who live in The Villages and surrounding Wildwood community in mind.

Whether you need an intimate room to play cards with friends or wish to host a birthday party with 100 guests, Dignity Memorial Life Celebration Center at Wildwood can be customized to suit your needs and wishes. With upscale, contemporary styling, the event center is bright and open, with two flexible areas that flow beautifully from one to the next.

You can use just one area or the whole event center for your special occasion.

Want to plan a New Year’s Eve party with passed hors d'oeuvres, specialty cocktails, live music and a dance floor? We have the ultimate celebration hall. With high-top tables for a cocktail party and round tables for a seated meal, the room can be configured any way you’d like. It's a private spot for you and your guests to celebrate past midnight.

If you’re looking for a more intimate setting that's as comfortable as a living room, we've got that, too. With modular furniture that's easily rearranged, this casual space works for smaller gatherings.

Situated between the two areas, the hospitality suite has full catering capabilities. It includes commercial refrigerators, warming units and plenty of prep space, allowing catering to run in a streamlined, behind-the-scenes fashion. Our catering partner, Orlando-based Cocktails Catering, provides first-class food and drink selections, plus specialty linens, decor and event rentals.

Dignity Memorial Life Celebration Center at Wildwood has the latest technology, including a state-of-the-art environmental projection system that can create an immersive visual journey for your guests. Imagine a fish-filled coral reef, starry spacewalk, famous painting, wall-to-wall garden or even another city. Surround sound throughout the building lets you stream your favorite music, and flat-screen televisions allow for personalized videos, presentations or a chance to watch the game with guests.

Expert event planners at your service

The planners at Dignity Memorial Life Celebration Center at Wildwood are experts in all kinds of events. We have unmatched resources and experience—and a passion for helping you plan the perfect occasion, whatever that might be.

Plan a final farewell with style

In addition, as a Dignity Memorial provider, we are also experts at celebrating life with attention to detail like no other. We believe a funeral or cremation memorial should be an event that speaks to what makes a person special and deeply reflects a life story—and the very best way to tell your story is to plan in advance.

When you make final arrangements ahead of time, you get to carefully consider your options and make choices that ensure that your life is remembered the way that you want—but you also lock in today’s prices and protect your family from worrying about money.
