How to Find a Celebrant for a Memorial Service

Is your family planning to hold a memorial service for a loved one as part of their cremation services in Summit, PA? If that’s your plan, you should be able to do it through almost any funeral home that you want. Some funeral homes might be able to supply you with a celebrant for a loved one’s memorial service if you would like. But others might ask you to find a celebrant for a memorial service. Here are several tips on how to track down a great celebrant for a loved one’s memorial service.

Start by seeing which celebrants exist in your area.

If you haven’t ever had to hire a celebrant for any reason, you might not know which ones currently exist in your area. So to start, you should Google something like “celebrants near me” and see what your options even are. You may be surprised to find out how many celebrants there are working in your town. You should jot down some of their names and click on their websites and/or social media pages to learn more about them. It’ll get your search for a celebrant off to a fantastic start.

Focus on celebrants that have experience with memorial services.

While you’re reading up on the different celebrants in your area and trying to see what they’re all about, you should learn which ones have experience helping to host memorial services. Not all celebrants are going to be able to provide you with funeral assistance with a loved one’s memorial service. Many of them tend to focus on helping those who are getting married and looking for celebrants for their weddings. There are, however, going to be some who will have experience with memorial services. They’ll be the options that you’ll want to give the most consideration to.

Read online reviews for local celebrants.

All celebrants are going to portray themselves in the most favorable light possible. So if you want to get a glimpse at what it’ll really be like to work with a celebrant, you should read as many online reviews for them as you can. If a celebrant has nothing but positive reviews to their name, it’ll be a good indication that you can trust them to host a loved one’s memorial service. But if they have one negative review after another, it’ll be a much different story. You will want to stay far, far away from celebrants like this.

See what it’ll cost to work with different celebrants.

Each individual celebrant that you consider for a loved one’s memorial service will offer a slightly different price to you. You should call around to at least a few celebrants to see what their pricing will be like. You can compare the different quotes that you receive and use them to narrow your options down to just one celebrant. This celebrant should be someone who is going to do a great job for your family while also working to stay under your Summit, PA cremation budget. It’ll lead to the best experience in the end in celebrating.
