Service Celebrant

There are many ways in which to celebrate a life, a Funeral Celebrant’s mission is to create a ceremony that reflects the wishes, beliefs, cultural background and values (religious or non-religious) of your loved one and your family.

A Celebrant funeral honors death and celebrates life. The Celebrant spends hours creating the ceremony and learning about your loved one in meetings with designated family and friends. In collaboration with you, your Celebrant will carefully craft a eulogy and create a ceremony with music, quotes, readings, unique symbols and rituals.

Then, with sincerity and great care, the Celebrant officiates at the ceremony at the funeral home, crematorium, cemetery or memorial location of your choice. After the funeral, the Celebrant presents your family with a beautiful copy of the ceremony as a keepsake.

Funeral Celebrants are Ceremony specialists who have a sound background in the history of ritual ceremony and funeral traditions in many cultures and religions.

Pat Rankin is one of our Certified Life Celebrants. His experience and caring support can guide you through creating the right moments for you and your family. Please call (636) 940-1000 to learn more.
