The Gentle Celebrant’s Guide to Funerals For Children

Wow. What a beautiful book.” ~ Lianne Downey, The Social Celebrant

 


Funerals For Children is a heart-felt offering to those celebrants and ministers working with grieving families. This book is an exploration of spaces: the spaces we, as celebrants, hold for others; the myriad spaces that a person inhabits when they experience the death of a child; the spaces children live and love in; and the spaces we, as celebrants, hold for ourselves.

Funerals For Children is publishing late January 2024 by the Celebrant Collection, an imprint of Starflower Press.

It will be included as part of the training materials for new Heart-led Celebrants, and available to other celebrants worldwide.
