What does a funeral celebrant offer to the family?
- The Celebrant will meet with the family to learn the stories that capture the spirit of the loved one, then write and deliver the eulogy.
- The Celebrant will plan and coordinate the service with input from the family and oversee the details during the service.
- In addition to the actual service, the Celebrant will spend from fifteen to twenty hours in preparation.
- A Celebrant can serve at a funeral service, a graveside committal service, special service before a religious ceremony, anniversary tribute, tree planting ceremony, bench dedication, or any gathering designed to honor the deceased.
Meaningful or disappointing, how you say goodbye
will always be rememberedPRESS RELEASE
It is evident from Gorman's work as a hospice nurse that she has a unique capacity to connect with families facing the loss of a loved one. When that ability is is teamed with her talent for writing and event planning, a career as a funeral celebrant seems tailor-made.
It has been well documented that the Baby Boomer generation has a different level of expectation for events and experiences. Everything from weddings, to birthing, to blogging, to cell phone ring tones demands a personal touch or flair. This generation was raised on questioning conventional ideas and breaking traditional rules. Now that they are reaching middle age and beyond, they are planning funerals for their parents, family members and themselves, bringing a higher demand for unique, special and individualized services.
The slogan for the Baby Boomer generation is: "We are spiritual, but not religious"
With the assistance of a Celebrant, a family can incorporate those elements of ceremony that provide special meaning--spiritual, or not. Religious in nature, or not. And anything in between.
The slogan for a Funeral Celebrant is: "No cookie-cutter funerals"
"You made us laugh and you made us cry...you captured Dad perfectly. I think people who thought they knew him were able to see a more complete picture of the amazing man who was our dad, and a friend to so many. We feel comforted by the send-off we gave him". Thank you, Debbie, for making it possible. TK
"It was the final goodbye; we had one chance to get it right, but we weren't allowed to participate in any way. I wish we had known about you...so many regrets" S.T.
