Join your colleagues for InSight Institute's Certified Celebrant Training Program, June 7-9, hosted at NFDA headquarters in Brookfield, Wisconsin! 

According to the most recent NFDA Consumer Awareness and Preferences survey, 47% of consumers have attended a funeral presided over by someone other than a member of the clergy, a number that has continued to increase over the years. The survey also found only 22.8% of consumers would not consider using a celebrant. 

As families' wishes continue to evolve, it is more important than ever to offer a variety of services that meet their needs and exceed their expectations. Fewer families are incorporating religious rites into memorial services – how do you fill that gap? Many funeral homes look to Celebrants and find it most economical to train their staff to accommodate this growing demand for customized services.

A Certified Celebrant works with the funeral director to provide a funeral service, memorial service or tribute that is personalized and individualized to reflect the personality and life-style of the deceased. Word will spread quickly about the meaningful and caring funerals being conducted at your firm! 

In a creative and collaborative environment, you will develop such skills as:

• Articulating the Value of the Funeral
• Facilitating Family Meetings
• Using Music and Readings Resources
• Art of Ceremonial Writing
• Presentation Skills
• Master of Ceremonies
• Developing the Celebrant Concept in the Community
• And so much more!

You'll also receive tools for success, the ability to network with other Certified Celebrants and the opportunity to earn up to 17 CE hours.

Register for the program in Brookfield today!
