Rachael Hodges - funeral celebrant

20/07/2025

A celebrant can help you create an authentic, personal and beautiful service, whether it be a funeral, a memorial or a celebration of life.
A civil celebrant, unlike a faith leader, is not restricted to a set script or pro forma type plan.
With care and creativity, by listening to you, working with you I will create a bespoke, and personally crafted service, to honour your loved one. One that reflects the life lived in all its facets. One that you recognise and one that brings comfort.

This week I completed my training with the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants. Met an AMAZING group of people - the best of humankind.
A very uplifting and inspiring week. I learnt that joy can be created even in the saddest times ❤️

I’ve received my joining instructions for the course now. A month to go. Feels like change, and new beginnings

Welcome to my page. I am starting a new business. I’ve decided to start my page before I actually go live with the business, so I can share my ideas and thoughts with my friends as I move along this journey.

For now I’m researching and looking at other people who are already working in this area.
I think I wish to work in the funeral celebrancy arena helping people go through this process, using my skills developed with over 30 years of public service behind me .

I have a course with the fellowship of professional celebrants at the end of June - a three day course. Then I will think about how I get out there and start doing this .
