Celebrant – How to Choose?

7 things to help you choose!

What do you want from your ceremony?

Your choice of Celebrant is as important as the occasion!

  1. If you have been recommended a Celebrant the first thing you should do I give them a call or drop an email to first enquire if they are available on the date – time you need them. I would suggest sending a text before calling to make sure you have a time which suits both of you to chat.
  2. As a celebrant my main strength would be to raise the spirits of whoever is involved. This is important as I will need to get the best information from you in order to create your ceremony for your loved one. It is imperative to both of us are as comfortable as possible. however the tone on the actual day of the event will be led by you whether it be sombre or more uplifting ceremony. The event should represent the best qualities of the deceased.
  3. The aim of the celebrant is to be able to offer a plethora of services in order to adapt to function for the service you want. You can choose a speech, eulogy or have one personalised and you can be assured I have the writing skills required for this.
  4. My personalisation or prose – eulogies – poetry will offer an expression of the love and respect for the life, love and celebration of your loved one.
  5. I do not endorse any single belief and am open to all aspect of spirituality or religion. You may choose a completely non-religious, agnostic, Humanist or secular arrangement and it is entirely up to you. This is about YOU – not about me!
  6. If you wish a RC hymn followed by a reading from the Koran then it is your choice to visualise and create, with the help of my penmanship your realisation for the perfect send off. If however there is to be no mention of God or reference to religion – Agnostic or Atheist – again it’s your celebration and your choice.
  7. Should you wish to have the farewell/memorial on top of a mountain then logistically there would need to be time enough to put things in place with attention given to health and safety, permissions from the local councils and viability of access then if it is your wish then I would aim to do all I could to make this happen.

Lastly, If you feel uncomfortable with a celebrant then do not hesitate to choose someone else.

Your Celebration of your loved ones life is the most important issue!
