Our Philosophy
-
At CCAOC we have developed a specific training program unique to
the needs and realities in North America.
- We believe that each Life
Celebration is unique and requires a tremendous amount of
flexibility on behalf of the Celebrant. To that end it is our belief
that all trainees need to have a grasp of the cultural norms in our
society as it relates to faith practices and principles.
- Although
many Life Celebrations do not include religious content a persons
faith heritage still plays a significant role in ceremony styles and
choices.
- It is important that all those training to lead funerals and
memorials have a firm grasp of their world view of life and
death.
- We believe that people who have faced the loss of a loved
one and have navigated the challenges that come with such loss
make the best celebrants.
- It is our belief that individuals who have planned their own
end of life service wishes make the best celebrants.
- As seasoned Life Celebration Specialists we have many years
of experience. Having participated in thousands of funerals we
tell lots of stories and share lots of helpful tips on how to
lead with excellence.
- We are not text book focused, we are life focused.
- We are
active celebrants. It is our life and our passion. We
train from this perspective.
- The loss of a loved one is a very
significant liminal moment that requires trained, sensitive
celebrants that can help guide families through these life
changing moments.
