How do I choose a funeral 'celebrant'?

If you're having a funeral service for a loved one, it is customary to appoint one person who will officiate the service from the front. They would be the person who welcomes everyone, introduces other speakers, and ensures the service takes place in a way required by the family.

In some cases a family will appoint a family member or friend to conduct the service. This is usually done by someone who has some experience with public speaking in other contexts, however it can be done by anyone with sufficient motivation.

Another option is securing the services of a professional 'funeral celebrant'. These are people who conduct funerals for a living, and they are a great choice when you need someone with experience and confidence to officiate. Evermore Funerals has connections to dozens of different funeral celebrants in Southeast Queensland. There is an excellent variety of choices too - men, women, younger, or more senior, religious and non-religious. After you engage our professional services, we can meet with you and ascertain who might be the best 'fit' for the kind of service you wish to have. Once we've found someone suitable we'll put them in touch with you and they will arrange a time to meet with you. If required, they can meet with you over the phone and get the information and stories needed so they can conduct the service in the most helpful way possible.
