  • Working with a Celebrant or a Clergy

    A Funeral Celebrant is a professional with no affiliation to any religion, who prepares and delivers a professional and personalised funeral service.

    While a Clergy is a religious minister or priest who commonly follows traditional protocols in preparing and delivering the funeral service. The choice of either a Funeral Celebrant or Clergy will often depend on whether or not the deceased was religious and followed a particular faith.
