Your first funeral is a big milestone. You don't have to navigate it alone.
You might be an experienced wedding celebrant, confident in front of a crowd and comfortable writing ceremonies, but your first funeral can feel like a whole different world.
What do you ask the family? How do you gather their stories? What should you include in the ceremony? How do you work with the funeral director? And what are the practical things you need to know before you walk into the funeral space?
There can be a lot to think about and sometimes you just need someone you can talk it through with.
With over 14 years of experience as a funeral celebrant, I offer one-on-one mentoring to support celebrants preparing for their first funeral.
We can talk through the process, work through your questions and explore the things I've learnt along the way including the practical details and little considerations that aren't always covered in celebrant training.
This is your opportunity to ask questions, gain perspective and feel more prepared before you stand in front of a grieving family.
We'll focus on what you need, whether that's preparing for your first family meeting, writing the ceremony, understanding the funeral director's role or getting your head around the logistics of the day.
I'm not here to tell you there's only one way to do things. I'm here to share my experience, offer practical guidance and help you find your own feet as a funeral celebrant.
Because while nothing completely prepares you for the experience of your first funeral, having someone in your corner can make a real difference.
If you have been asked to conduct your first funeral and would value a one-on-one conversation before the day, I would love to help you feel more prepared.
