A Funeral Celebrant is specifically trained by Doug Manning and his staff through the In-Sight Institute. Doug was a Baptist minister for 37 years, and became involved in grief support work in the early 70’s. He has since written over 35 books on the subject, and his Institute has trained over 800 people to become Celebrants.
Our Celebrant will help your family to create a time of remembering and healing. By meeting with the family or friends we learn the unique stories, songs, pictures and experiences that defined their loved one. These memories allow us to design a “celebration of life”. A Celebrant will plan the service as well as provide an opportunity to share memories, anecdotes and special moments in the loved one’s life.
Our funeral home maintains a library of resources available for readings, music, special ceremonies, and personalized ways to honor the loved one's life.
