Yi Yuan is actually a process.

When a person is born into this world, he or she has nothing; slowly then, relationships, emotions, goals, substance and other things came along. The course of events from nothing to something is as such the concept of changing from zero to one.

And when death comes knocking, when we breathe our last breath and all breathing stops; everything we possess would return from one back to zero, all gone. Yi Yuan believes that the departure of a person is not a concept of zeroes, though it may look like a Chinese full stop (。) or zero (0), we prefer to describe it as a circle (O).

Yi Yuan believes that death is part of life. A life cycle is like drawing a circle, some people may have larger circles which takes a longer time to draw; and some people may have a relatively smaller circle, where the drawing finishes sooner. Whether the circle is big or small, it will surely leave footsteps wherever it goes, therefore we believe every circle has its own value.

The work of a funeral home is to provide services when the concept of one returns to zero, it is to gather the loved ones of the deceased to bring them inside his or her circle, and to bid final goodbye.

A funeral or farewell is the last ceremony in life’s journey, like a graduation ceremony for life itself. At Yi Yuan Life Care, we value funerals because we see it as a part of life, there are personalities, stories, emotions and memories in every person. Like a graduation certificate, we hope that everyone that attends the ceremony would remember and miss the deceased, and to be thankful that this person came into your life.

At Yi Yuan Life Care, we hope to create the final farewell in life for every special person, so that he or she will go on this last journey in peace and with no regrets.
