Working with Celebrants: Points for Excellence
The Funeral Celebrancy Council is committed to setting standards for excellence in celebrancy and, in furtherance of this, has created two checklists to assist funeral directors and arrangers and members of the public when working with celebrants.
They are for use by both funeral professionals and celebrants to improve working relationships and promote best practice. Working with Celebrants: Points for Excellence have been developed alongside the Funeral Celebrant Accord.
While not intended to be exhaustive, the lists provide a means of achieving measurable insight into the abilities and calibre of the individual concerned, enabling any issues to be identified and discussed.
