I love every aspect of the work that I do as a Celebrant, but what I find the most rewarding is seeing the look of joy and happiness on my couples faces during and especially after their wedding ceremony. It’s seeing my families finally be able to relax, because they know they have given their loved one the very best farewell. And it’s being asked by family and friends after the ceremony or service how long I’d known the couple or the deceased for. To me, that means I got it right. And that is the most rewarding moment.

This month, I am excited to introduce you to another of our Graduates, Michelle Clayford, Celebrant based in Leeds. Michelle completed our Funeral Celebrant Training and our Wedding and Vow Renewal Celebrant Training. She's based in Leeds and conducts ceremonies in and around West Yorkshire. Working with Michelle for 12 weeks was allowed me to get to know about her values and to see the authentic way she upholds and practices them. I think I leared as much as she did during our work together.

It was after attending the funerals of each loved-one, two of the funerals were just four weeks apart, and listening to the services which were delivered by Celebrants. I was left with a feeling that I did not understand. I wanted to be that person officiating the service. It felt like a calling, something connected within me so strongly and at the time I did not even know these people were Celebrants, and you could train to be one.

I read the eulogy at Mum and Don’s service and it was a privilege. I knew this next chapter was an opportunity to bring what I have and continue to learn, to support others, but I wasn’t clear exactly how. Then I was approached by the Funeral Director of Don’s service, a friend, to ask if I had considered becoming a Celebrant… and so the journey started to unfold.

I would love to hold a Life Celebration at the beach, hearing the waves in the background and having that wonderful expanse of sky behind us. To have lots of music, drinks and dancing after the Committal with lots of people wanting to share their memories of the person – with no time limits!
