Celebrants trained by InSight Institute discuss why they chose to become Certified Celebrants.

“The InSight training was such an inspirational few days learning together. This service and work will only continue to grow as our profession continues to advocate for meaningful and personalized funeral services.” 
— Lee Bingley, General Manager, Ward Funeral Homes
I was grateful to be able to participate in the Celebrant training offered by InSight Institute.  Sara was a dynamic and motivating speaker who presented the material in a way that engaged everyone in the room. Throughout the training, we were given a wide variety of resources for how to create personalized ceremonies as well as interactive, hands-on experiences.  Most importantly, we left inspired with greater clarity for the importance of the meaningful work we do and the incredible value that quality funeral and memorial services bring to grieving families, our communities and our profession.
