Tuesday 6 October 2026 – Funeral Celebrants – this session covers everything from the first phone call, to meeting the family, to using technology to help you write funeral services, to accounting practices, marketing yourself, and how to take care of yourself before and after a funeral service, and so much more. Great for those who are starting their careers as a funeral celebrant as well as those more seasoned celebrants who may learn something new. An open forum where celebrants can share their stories and what works for them.
