The third Friday in November always marks Funeral Celebrant Day.
Today we highlight the work of funeral Celebrants, who, along with the wonderful funeral directors and arrangers , support families during their most vulnerable and raw moments.
Our work begins well before the actually service.
We will meet with a family, discuss their wishes (and often the posthumous wishes of the one who has passed)
We will assist in choosing music, suggest poems and more often than not , write a heart warming tribute (bringing vibrancy , memories and even humour) painting through words, a beautiful Portrait of the one who has passed)
We also can offer a bespoke memorial service (for those who choose direct cremation or an unattended funeral)
It’s so important for those who are left to embrace the grieving process. It’s the emotion that is the price we pay to love. A funeral or memorial service is part of that process of adjustment.
To all my fellow funeral Celebrants, Happy Funeral Celebrant day 🥰
