A clergy person or funeral celebrant is a member of the community who is professionally trained to conduct a funeral. A celebrant will speak with you as well as other family and friends in order to create a personal and moving send off.
Clergy & Celebrants see a funeral as a way of celebrating your loved one’s life. They will encourage family and friends to participate in the ceremony to express their admiration and respect for their loved one.
Your clergy or celebrant will ask you for a story or two about your loved one and will help you choose the right music for the ceremony. They are fully trained and registered to deal with the sensitivity at hand.
When choosing a clergy person or celebrant, talking to them in person makes it easier to decide if they are the right celebrant for your loved one. Also discuss pricing with them and make sure they have the right accreditation.
