It’s a privilige and honour to be able to work with so many wonderful families over the past few years to tell the story of their loved one’s life.
Thank you to all of you who have entrusted ceremonies to my care.
It’s also a real honour to work with the amazing team at Civil Ceremonies Ltd, teaching the next generation of funeral celebrants, helping them to be the best they can be.
Thank you!
It’s HERE! The first ever Funeral Celebrant Day, acknowledging the great work of funeral celebrants across the nation. Please feel free to tag a funeral celebrant below and tell them how fabulous they are, or perhaps you could write an ode or a poem to acknowledge the fantastic work you all do.
We’ll start you off …
A Ode to the Funeral Celebrant,
by Anon in the AOIC office! (Apologies to the poet laureates among you!!)
A family calls, a celebrant hears,
A shoulder to lean on through falling tears,
A gentle unwavering guiding hand,
As a family searches through unfamiliar land.
The celebrant ponders while heading for home,
Considering feelings of those now alone,
Tired and weary they put up their feet,
Content that a busy day is complete.
A family has now laid a loved one to rest,
The celebrant knows they are truly blessed,
A piece of the jigsaw as life finds its end,
To help on the journey a loved one and friend.
