The person who leads the service plays an important role in setting the tone of the farewell. Families who follow a particular faith may choose a clergy member, while others feel more comfortable with a civil celebrant. Both options are completely appropriate, and the choice usually comes down to what feels right for your family and your loved one.

Celebrants and clergy can assist with a range of duties, including:

  • Meeting with your family to learn about the person being honoured
  • Helping shape the order of service
  • Acting as the master of ceremonies
  • Offering readings, reflections, or a eulogy
  • Providing gentle guidance and support throughout the ceremony

At Good Cremations, we can connect you with trusted celebrants and officiants who understand the importance of a simple, respectful farewell. If you already have someone in mind, we are happy to work with them as well.
