What Happens in a Celebrant-Led Funeral?
What actually happens during a celebrant-led funeral? If you’ve never been to one before, it can feel like a bit of a mystery. This post walks you through the process — from the first conversation to the ceremony itself — and explains how a personalised, thoughtful service can offer real comfort during a difficult time.


Celebrating Lives Through Music
Music has a profound ability to evoke memories and bring comfort during times of loss. As a funeral celebrant, I have witnessed how the right song can transform a memorial service into a deeply personal and meaningful tribute. Whether it’s a cherished classical piece, a favourite pop song, or a heartfelt hymn, music helps tell a person’s story and celebrate their life. From live performances to carefully curated playlists, music plays a vital role in shaping the atmosphere of a service, offering solace and connection when words are not enough. In this blog, I explore how music can honour a loved one’s memory and provide lasting comfort to those left behind.
