What role does a celebrant play in a funeral or memorial service?

 A celebrant plays a crucial role in both funeral & memorial services. We are a guide, a facilitator, & a support for the family. Our responsibilities can vary depending on the type of service & the wishes of the person who has passed & their family. Generally, our role includes the following:

1. Planning and Coordination

**Service Design** We help plan the structure & content of the service, working with the family to understand their preferences & ensure that the ceremony reflects the personality & values of the deceased. This can involve choosing readings, music, & rituals that are meaningful to the family.

**Logistics** We coordinate with various parties involved in the service, such as the venue, funeral home, & any additional speakers or performers. They ensure that all details are in place for a smooth service.

2. Personalisation
