A Peaceful Place to Gather, Remember & Celebrate a Life
When someone you love passes, gathering together matters.
Haiku offers a quiet, private garden in Asheville for celebrations of life, memorials, and remembrance gatherings, with indoor and outdoor spaces where family and friends can come together comfortably.
We’ll help you create a gathering that feels personal — honoring the life, traditions, faith, and memories that matter to your family.

We’ll provide the setting and help take care of the details, so your family can focus on being together.

3 hours of guest time
Service seating for up to 50 guests
Overall capacity up to 150 guests

We’ll Help With the Details
Our team provides planning guidance, venue setup, and cleanup so there is less for your family to manage.
Your family may arrive up to two hours before the gathering to add photographs, flowers, keepsakes, or other personal touches. Comfortable lounges and quieter areas are also available when family members need a moment away from the larger gathering.
If You Need a Little More
Every gathering is different, and sometimes a little extra time or an added touch can make the day feel more comfortable.
Additional time: $500/hour
Families may also choose to add a Haiku bar package with beer, wine, champagne, and non-alcoholic beverages for guests to enjoy while gathering and sharing memories.
We’re Here When You’re Ready
When you’re ready to talk, tell us a little about your family and the gathering you have in mind. We’ll help you take it from there.
