What happens
-
Meeting the family
Listens to your wishes and learns what the person was like.
-
The order of service
Suggests the order of speakers and the music and talks it through with the relatives.
-
The ceremony
Leads the farewell calmly and tactfully, from the start until the coffin is carried out.
Funeral celebrant
A farewell needs someone to lead it calmly and with tact: to say the words that fit, to give the family the floor in the right order, to hold the pauses and the rhythm. A celebrant lifts that weight off the family.
They learn the story of the person who died and what the family wants beforehand, so that the farewell sounds personal rather than formal.

Ask your own question
Does a celebrant fit a religious funeral?
Yes. They lead the civil part of the ceremony and fit it around the religious rites, without standing in for the priest.
