Interview with a Celebrant: Jann-Michelle Summers
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.
Why I love being an Independent Celebrant
This role is full of opportunity to learn and grow. Each ceremony presents a new set of challenges, demands, and opportunities for creative expression. From staying updated on laws and regulations to adapting ceremony styles, being a celebrant encourages a spirit of lifelong learning.
Attending and delivering training sessions, workshops, and networking with fellow celebrants is invaluable. It not only enhances my skills but also allows me to be part of a vibrant community. I love this group of professionals who share a passion for creating meaningful ceremonies.
Life Celebrations are all about Love
When someone we love dies, the love we feel for them is as real as it ever was.
The feelings we had for them don’t go away. They might feel different for a while, perhaps even painful. But at the heart of our memories is love. I believe crafting someone’s service to mark the end of their life, is the greatest love story there is to tell.
