My role as a Celebrant . . .

It is my personal desire and professional obligation to assist families in honoring and celebrating the 'brilliance' of their loved ones, as they plan their final good-byes. As a Celebrant, I offer and encourage a creative, fresh, and unique approach to the telling of a life story . . . 'we will always recall'.

The following is a general outline of my role, responsibilities, and offerings. They of course are not limited to, and will vary depending on individual family needs.

  • Initial introductory family meet and visit.
  • Regular and consistent communication throughout planning process (via email, telephone or in person).
  • Organization of program order, flow, and timing.
  • Offer assistance with service card, eulogy, tributes, interment format, music and prayer selections.
  • Write and prepare a personal, unique and appropriate opening and closing to the service.
  • Coordinate service details and provide complete service document to funeral home personnel when applicable.
  • Officiate service (and interment if required) at location chosen by family.
  • Provide family a professional copy of the complete program document at end of service.
  • **Professional video services available at an extra cost, see section "Video Services".

    Due to the uniqueness and varied involvement required by myself in the planning and delivery of each life tribute, it is necessary to have a discussion before quoting a price for my services. Please feel free to contact me for an estimate.
