Legacy Celebrant Service
Celebrating A Life Lived
Hold A Celebration Worthy of Their Life.
Legacy Celebrant Service is here to assist individuals and families in creating personalized funeral ceremonies that reflect the wishes, beliefs, cultural background, and values -- religious or nonreligious-- of your loved one and your family.
Why Work With A Funeral Celebrant?
A funeral celebrant/funeral officiant is a trained professional who officiates and leads funeral ceremonies, memorial services, or other end-of-life ceremonies. Unlike religious clergy, celebrants are typically non-religious or interfaith and focus on creating personalized and meaningful ceremonies that reflect the life, values, and beliefs of the deceased and their loved ones.
The responsibilities of a funeral celebrant may include:
Meeting with the Family: They meet with the deceased person's family to learn more about the individual, their life, and the wishes of the family regarding the ceremony.
Creating a Ceremony: Based on the information gathered, celebrants design and conduct a personalized ceremony that honors the life of the deceased. This may include selecting readings, music, and other elements.
Leading the Ceremony: During the funeral or memorial service, celebrants guide the proceedings, deliver eulogies or tributes, and ensure that the ceremony reflects the wishes of the family.
Offering Support: Funeral celebrants often provide emotional support to the grieving family and friends, helping them navigate the funeral planning process.
Facilitating Rituals: They may incorporate meaningful rituals or ceremonies to the family or community, fostering a sense of closure and remembrance.
Religious or Non-Religious Perspective: Celebrants are trained to conduct ceremonies with or without a religious focus, making them suitable for individuals or families who identify with or do not identify with a specific faith.
Overall, funeral celebrants play a crucial role in providing a personalized and respectful farewell for the deceased while offering support to those mourning the loss. Our Owner, Certified Funeral Celebrant, & Final Arrangements Consultant Nancy Klamm, is happy to answer any questions you may have.
