Silver bundle – Funerals, Funeral Celebrant Plus and Marketing
If you are only thinking about Funeral Celebrant Training
Most funeral celebrant training in the UK focuses heavily on the mechanics:
how to conduct a ceremony, structure a script, speak confidently, work with families, liaise with funeral directors and manage a crematorium service.
All important, obviously – and all fully covered within our core Funeral Celebrant training.
But what often isn’t explored in any real depth is the wider death world:
the things families are increasingly asking about, the broader funeral landscape, and the growing movement towards more informed, family-led and personalised approaches to death and funerals.
This package includes:
As a silver bundle trainee you can access the weekly via-Zoom-tutorials all the time that you are completing the course and for a further year after you have successfully completed your training.
Funeral Celebrant training
This is our foundation level funeral celebrant training. For the complete training you need to also do the Funeral Celebrant-plus course which is included within this bundle and you can find out more information about these below.
Our foundation funeral celebrant training is exactly that – looking at the corner-stones of funeral celebrant work and building a framework of solid foundations so that you can have the confidence to open up your practice to more choice and creativity.

That’s where Funeral Celebrant Plus comes in. It goes much deeper into areas like:
- Death literacy
- Funeral choices beyond the mainstream - alternative settings / separating the celebration of life from the burial or cremation
- Family-led funerals
- Keeping bodies at home
- Advance planning
- How the funeral industry works behind the scenes
- Supporting families more holistically
- And helping celebrants build direct relationships within their communities rather than relying solely on funeral director referrals
It’s also where we begin encouraging celebrants to think beyond simply being a “ceremony provider” and towards becoming a trusted guide, educator and presence within their local community.
In other words:
not viewing funeral directors as gatekeepers of your work, but learning how to market directly to the people and communities you actually want to support.
This is where celebrants discover there’s a whole extra layer to funeral work that nobody told them about (until we did!).
Combined with Marketing for Celebrants, this package helps people build a sustainable funeral celebrant business – rather than simply waiting for funeral directors to hand work over.
