"Like the gold nugget found at the bottom of the sieve, what remains of a loved one is brilliant. Unalterable henceforth."

– Christian Bobin

A new rite

Chrysalia reinvents the funeral rite by offering families a final gesture of shared love.

At the end of the ceremony, each loved one is invited to place a pearl as a token of farewell. Together, they weave a chrysalis of memories, enveloping their loved one with their love and presence to accompany them on their final journey.

When memory becomes light

In each pearl, a memory. Words, images, a smile, music… A burst of life.

Illuminated in its heart by the light of the loved one, the pearl chrysalis crystallizes into a sanctuary of love and memory.
