Transcript:

You know, when people tell us, "What I really want to have is a Celebration of Life." I couldn't agree more. A Celebration of Life is another name for a funeral -- with a particular focus.
I think for most people it, it communicates a sense of "We are wanting something that's not sad. We are wanting an event, a gathering, where it's gonna be about all the best of what was the person's life." But the idea is, we really want to focus on this person; we want to celebrate the fact that they lived. And that's what we are gonna focus on. Not necessarily a particular ritual.
How a person uses that term, uh you know, takes a little bit of time for us to just understand what they mean by "a Celebration of Life". Because it's obviously an objective and a desire that's there. Celebrating a life, um, is what we do, because someone has died.
I think a funeral should be a celebration of that person's life. It needs to show and personalize and reflect their values, their beliefs, their interests, and that any good funeral is going to turn into that celebration of that persons's life.
There are those that have been creative and have done Celebration of Life services before someone dies. I think that's a fantastic idea. Why not be involved in what people would say and pay tribute to you while you are among them?

This is the second part of a guide for creating a celebration of life funeral service. It covers the welcome and introduction to the service, how to begin a non-religious ceremony, how to introduce people, family members and say a few initial words about the deceased (loved one). It so has some handy hints to help with things like starting the service and keeping things simple. This is a free course, and is here as guide for anyone who is planning a funeral ceremony where they wish to act as a celebrant themselves or to understand what the celebrant does.

By the end of the course a complete beginner should be able to write a funeral script and lead a funeral service.

Loved ones gathered on Tuesday to say goodbye to Atlanta rapper Rich Homie Quan at a Celebration of Life ceremony.

Gary Roberts

I regret to inform you that Darcy has passed away.

I got Darcy as a valentines day gift in my final year of university in 2016 when he was just 7 weeks old. He instantly became the love of my life and my best friend. I lived far away from family, I've had friends and relationships come and go. Darcy was the only thing that has stay consistent in my life for the past 7 and a half years. Words cannot describe how much he meant to me and what he has done for me. Darcy saved my life. On more than one occasion.

Darcy was loved and adored by many. He may not have been the biggest fan of other dogs but he absolutely adored people. And I was lucky enough that I got to share him with the world on my social media and YouTube channel. I want to say thank you for loving him. Thank you for all your kind comments and messages about seeing him on your screens when we do our workouts. Darcy was and always will be a part of this family.

Please respect my privacy as I take time off to grieve this loss. To say that my heart is broken doesn't even begin to describe the pain and loss that I feel. He was my best friend, my family, and a huge part of my work here on YouTube. It will take me time to find my new normal and heal from this. I will come back. It just may take some time.

Thank you all for your patience, love, and support. Darcy loved you all and loved being a part of this community. I will miss him for the rest of my life.
