Celebrant Services

When someone dies, we often feel both the deep ache of loss and the need to honor their life in a way that feels genuine and personal. A funeral or memorial ceremony can be a profound moment of connection — an opportunity to remember, to share stories, to cry, and to celebrate the life that was lived.

As a Funeral Celebrant, I help families create ceremonies that reflect the person they loved — their values, humor, stories, and spirit. Each ceremony is written with care and intention, whether it’s held in a family home, a community space, brewery or outdoors beneath the Montana sky.

A celebrant is a professional who works closely with families to design and lead personalized ceremonies.

Together, we can create:

• Funerals and memorials
• Celebrations of life  
• Graveside services 
• Home funerals 
• Vigil or farewell gatherings
   

Every ceremony is unique. I take time to listen, learn about the person who has died, and weave together words, music, readings, and rituals that feel meaningful to those gathered.

I collaborate with both families and funeral professionals, ensuring that each service runs smoothly and respectfully. Whether you’re working through a funeral home or planning independently, I can guide you through ceremony design, eulogy writing, and logistical details. 

• When a death has just occurred and you need help planning a ceremony  
• When pre-planning your own service for peace of mind 
• When you want to celebrate a loved one’s life in a personal, unique way

Ceremony helps us process loss and make meaning. It reminds us that we are part of something larger — a circle of stories, love, and memory that continues even after death. My role is to help you express that meaning with warmth, honesty, and compassion.
