I am a Celebrant, one who writes individualized Life Tributes and organizes and officiates Memorial/Funeral services. Across America there are many who are not affiliated with a particular religion. However, when someone dies the family may desire to remember their loved one with some kind of remembrance ceremony. Often at a loss as to how to accomplish this, the family can turn to the services of a Celebrant.

The Celebrant movement is quite new to America, having begun in New Zealand and Australia.

My goal is to be of the highest service to the bereaved family by facilitating a service that is life-affirming, deeply personal and healing, authentically reflecting their loved one's life.

I meet with the family to hear their stories about the person who died, and discuss the ambiance they would like, including assisting them with choice of music, poetry and/or readings.

I will work closely with the Funeral Home and I can also officiate at another choice of location, and I can help with that decision. Often the most personal services are held at locations that are not traditional, but perfect for reflecting a person's life!

I offer a background in bereavement support and spiritual counseling. I have a passion to serve in this capacity as a Celebrant, offering my compassionate heart, organizational skills, and personal experience.

I am in need of someone to help me with ideas to get moving on blogging, and also to just help me with Wordpress.

Certified Funeral Celebrant from Insight Institute - 2007, B.A in Spiritual Studies from Agape Institute - 2005, Licensed Spiritual Practitioner from Agape International Spiritual Center - 1998.

My experience in offering grief support and now my work as a Celebrant emerged out of my own experiences living with and moving through the long walk of grieving the deaths of my ex-husband (the father of my children), very recently the deaths of both my parents, many close friends and beloved animal companions. As my heart has been broken open, I am able to hold a reverent, respectful space for those who have lost a beloved friend, family member, cherished pet.
