WHAT IS A FUNERAL CELEBRANT?
Helping you through the ceremonial process of ensuring your loved one or yourself gets the farewell send off deserved is what a celebrant is there to help with.
They will create and lead the funeral ceremony for your dearly departed or yourself by ensuring it is personal and reflective of how your loved one is remembered.
A celebrant can lead both a religious as well as non-religious ceremony to ensure the wishes of your loved one are reflected.
Celebrants come from all walks of life, cultures and backgrounds. What binds them is their commitment to ensuring the memory of your loved one is celebrated on the day of their funeral.
They will talk to you, guide you and ensure that everything runs smoothly so that you, your family and friends can be focused on making sure you’re the on the day of the funeral, the farewell planned is given with respect, honour and fond memories shared with all those attending.
It is also very common for someone living to choose the celebrant they want at their funeral and so don’t leave it to their family to be worried about finding and choosing a celebrant.
At the end of the day, it is a personal choice as to whether you choice the celebrant yourself or leave it to your next of kin or other loved ones to choose who will be the celebrant at your funeral.
Each celebrant is unique in their own way and it’s essential to speak to a few to ensure that you find one that suits your needs and you can connect with. They will write the order of the service, liaise where needed with the funeral arrangers and make sure everything goes smoothly and according to time.
