Wed, 23 Oct 2024 01:47:05 +0000

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.
