In the funeral profession, a celebrant is a non-clergy professional that conducts formal memorials or celebration of life services. They are dedicated to conduct meaningful services that honor and remember a life lived. They can do so without linking to religious affiliation or beliefs, or include the deceased beliefs as requested. The message of their service includes unique sharing of how the deceased lived their life, their personality and values, and even memories from family and friends. Not only do they perform the funeral service, they actually plan and oversee all funeral proceedings. A funeral celebrant is there to help you decide on any and all details as you are arranging the funeral.

We love this Navajo prayer, “When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.”

How do you make the most of each day?

“There is a light in this world, a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter. We sometimes lose sight of this force when there is suffering, too much pain. Then suddenly, the spirit will emerge through the lives of ordinary people who hear a call and answer in extraordinary ways.”
- Mother Teresa

Refrigeration is often employed when there will be no viewing or wake, or if the body will be cremated. Otherwise, embalming is the primary choice for the traditional funeral, especially if it is open casket. This is especially important in harsh winters where the ground prevents prompt burials.
