Funeral Celebrant

What is a

Funeral Celebrant?

Traditionally a funeral or memorial service is officiated by a minister or other clergy person.  But what if that is not the appropriate choice?  That is when a Funeral Celebrant may be the best option.


 A celebrant is trained to work closely with a family to craft a eulogy that beautifully captures the life of the individual and gives guests a better understanding of what was most meaningful to your loved one. 


A celebrant will spend time with your family, asking questions and gathering personal details. He or she will then use the information, personal stories and memories to create and deliver a tribute that encompasses everything family and friends loved about that person.   The celebrant will then plan the service by creating a service that may include participation by family members and friends, musical selections and a eulogy they prepared from the information they gained from the family. The opportunity to work with a celebrant allows your family to play a significant role in planning a tribute that is focused on remembrance and healing.
