Celebrants and Ministers

Bowl Many funerals at Sun Rising are conducted by a Christian priest, or minister of another religious tradition, the arrangements being sorted out by the family or funeral director.

Where a non-religious rite is required, the family may consider not using a celebrant. However, the celebrant's role is valuable: they guide us through the steps of a funeral, allowing us better to pay our respects and say goodbye.

Here are some celebrants who have requested we list them. Those who have conducted funerals at Sun Rising Natural Burial Ground are marked with asterisks thus **. Let us know if you have any queries and we can guide you.
