What is a Funeral Celebrant?
Funeral celebrants lead funeral services by planning and overseeing semi-religious, non-religious and religious services.
Bernie's aim for the funeral service is for it to be a ‘Service of Remembrance as well as a Celebration of Life’ that honours your loved one's memory.
​
His approach places greater emphasis on how your loved one lived their life, their personality traits and the memories you have of them.
​
Celebrants are the preferred option for those wishing to see a vivid reflection of their loved one's life story in the service.
An alternative to a Vicar or Priest
Bernie conducts religious, semi-religious and non-religious funerals.
His aim is to fully accommodate your wishes.
​
He can advise you on poems, songs and readings you might wish to use.
​
In a service led by Bernie there is more time dedicated to talking about your loved one, their life, their personality and the sharing of memories.
​
Bernie will speak to you before the funeral, visiting you at your home, where you can talk at length about your loved one, thus helping him to create a fitting 'Life Story'.
​
The funeral is very personal in these instances as it directly reflects what your loved one would have wanted.
