About Life Celebrants International

The Life Celebrants International training program first began when the need for trained, skilled funeral celebrants was identified due to an increase in families desirous of something different than a traditional, religious based ceremony. Life Celebrants International understands the importance of ceremony and connecting with family, friends, and the community in times of loss. Our training program is designed to equip celebrants with the skills and knowledge they need to provide meaningful, personalized services that honor and celebrate the life of the person who has passed. Our story-based approach to learning helps to ensure that celebrants are equipped to create meaningful and memorable services for those who have lost a loved one. We believe in providing the best possible training and support to those who choose to become a funeral celebrant, so that they can provide the highest quality services to the families and communities they serve.

At Life Celebrants International, we believe that love and compassion should be at the heart of our mission. Our certified Funeral Celebrants are trained to bring comfort and solace to families and communities during difficult times. We share our knowledge, experience, and techniques to ensure that each Life Celebrant is equipped to offer quality service to those in need. We are devoted to providing a compassionate, caring, and respectful experience for all.
