Grief is something we experience at all stages of life, whether we are children or older adults. As a celebrant how do we work with families to ensure that we listen to and include everyone’s needs and wishes?

They say that the best things in life are the people you love, the places you’ve been, and the memories you’ve made along the way. In this podcast discover why celebrancy is a career that is all about love.

Julie and Maxine talk about some of the wonderful aspects of becoming a celebrant, some not so obvious, share personal experiences and why they enjoy the celebrant life.

A wedding is only one of the ceremonies a celebrant can perform but some people choose only to train for weddings. Why is it such a good idea to be a more well-rounded and knowledgeable celebrant and train in all aspects of celebrancy?

Stuart and Maxine talk about the current legal restrictions on celebrant weddings and the recommendations made by the law commission that could enable celebrants to perform a legal ceremony in the future.

Why are we talking about conflict? Emotions can run high when working with families and couples. How should a celebrant prepare for this happening and how do we take care of ourselves?

Its not just about babies. Maxine and Rebecca talk about different types of naming ceremonies and why, as a celebrant, it’s important to understand them in all their joyfulness.

A funeral mark the final passage of a human’s life. Surrounded by family and friends, they are given a farewell, as part of a ritual that goes back as far as mankind. In our society especially, death can still be a taboo and stigmatised topic. We have been socialised to avoid talking about death or to quietly deal with the emotions that come with it - and this can make being a funeral celebrant UK quite challenging. How do we look after our mental health?
