For individuals who adhere to a specific faith, it may be suitable to have a clergy member officiate the funeral service. On the other hand, some may feel more at ease with a celebrant overseeing the proceedings.
Both celebrants and clergy often fulfill several responsibilities as part of their role, which can include:
- Meeting with your family to discuss the funeral arrangements and understand your specific needs and preferences.
- Acting as the master of ceremonies during the service, guiding and facilitating the flow of the ceremony.
- Providing words of encouragement, support or delivering a eulogy that pays tribute to the deceased and offers solace to the bereaved.
