Funeral directors and celebrants work in sync with one another but there's a lot that celebrants may not know about what a funeral director does. For example:

  • What actually happens when a funeral director goes to a site where there is a deceased person. 
  • What if the deceased is located in an awkward position or difficult to move? 
  • What does the embalming process actually entail? 
  • Or if there is no embalming process, what does that mean? 
  • What are the rules around burials, i.e., why can't I just do it myself out the back of my property? 
  • How does a funeral director choose a celebrant? 
  • What can the funeral director do and can't do? 
  • What do they find useful from the celebrant? 
  • What actually happens at a cremation - is it true the handles are removed and reused? 
  • What can you put in a casket? 

This and so many more questions will be answered and if you have a burning question for our guest, please send that through to CANZ Support <support@celebrantsassociation.co.nz>. There will be an opportunity for Q&A in this session.

Online event is held via Zoom. Meeting details will be sent after registration.
