McAlister-Smith Funeral & Cremation (Charleston) has formed a partnership with Holy City Affairs, Charleston’s leading luxury concierge and event firm. Together, the businesses plan to reimagine celebrations of life by meeting families where they are emotionally, personally and logistically.

Because today’s families are more mobile, more diverse and more emotionally attuned than ever before, cookie-cutter ceremonies no longer suffice. That’s why McAlister-Smith’s Concierge Division, in collaboration with Holy City Affairs, has launched a thoughtful full-service approach to celebrating life. Some of the curated offerings include:

• Sunset Reflections at Sea: Private-yacht or chartered-boat services to scatter cremated remains or host a quiet moment of reflection

• Legacy Dinners: Luxury homes, such as those downtown or on the oceanfront, secured for family stays or hosted celebrations that include private chefs and staff

• From Barbecue to Black Tie: Special celebration menus for gatherings that reflect the personality of the departed, such as parties with passed hors d’oeuvres and curated wine pairings, casual backyard cookouts, and intimate plated dinners

• Guest Coordination & Comfort: Hotel bookings, airport transportation, valet services, local meet-and-greets and coordination of full-family lodging

• Home & Heart Services: Housekeeping, dry cleaning, errand-running, pantry-stocking, floral installations, pet- or childcare, and more
