Find an IoCF Celebrant
When you choose a funeral celebrant who is a member of the IoCF, you are choosing someone who will help you create the most beautiful ceremony possible for the person you have lost.
Why choose an IoCF celebrant?
Each of our members:
- understands that the funeral is your final gift to your loved one - a special day to remember and mourn;
- will work with you to make the ceremony unique and memorable - a true reflection of how important that person is to you;
- has achieved the highest celebrancy qualification and undergoes continuous professional development to ensure they are always working towards the standards of excellence;
- is regularly reviewed to ensure that they are working with you and with all families professionally and compassionately.
We are confident that all of our members give you the best possible caring and professional service. We have a rigorous complaints process if you have any concerns.
This is what you can expect from an institute member
- Prompt response to your enquiries.
- Meetings at your convenience, including evenings and weekends where necessary (for your safety, all meetings for the duration of the pandemic are by phone or video call).
