Recommended reading for Funeral Celebrants
By Celebrant Coaching and Training Academy
All the books in this list are recommended as you train, and work as a Life Celebration and Funeral Celebrant. Some will enhance your understanding of grief, some will help you feel more credible as a new Celebrant and some are just a fascinating insight into an area that feels un-spoken-of.
Be aware that some do contain very frank, blunt and often graphic information about death. It is vital that we get comfortable with conversations about death and dying. We might have to read some books and have some conversations that feel uncomfortable in order to achieve this.
