Funeral Celebrant
Memorial Service Officiant

As a Funeral Celebrant or Memorial Service Officiant, I will spend one and a half to two hours with you, learning as much as I can about your loved one and helping you to craft the most meaningful, personal honoring of them as possible. No two services are alike as not two human beings are alike. As an Interfaith Minister, I can incorporate readings, poems, prayers, and music from whatever faith tradition your loved one felt closest to or from secular sources if those feel more appropriate or authentic to the person being honored. The service can be as simple or as elaborate as you envision or somewhere in between. Ultimately, it is about what you or your loved one would have wanted and my mission is to help that unfold with grace and ease for you and your family.

My fee

I charge $425 for funerals and memorial services- (An additional $50 will be charged for services more than a half hour from where I live)

This includes meeting with the family for 1-2 hours for preplanning, all follow-up conversations, the creation of a custom service, a draft of the service for you to approve beforehand, and then officiating the service itself.

I wanted to thank you once again for your help with my husband’s service. Your kind and gentle manner made such a difference to my children and me. Many thanks for your help and guidance through such a painful time.

Carin is a kind soul — gentle and empathetic, with a bright attitude, and an open ear. She’s an excellent speaker and managed to translate the memories that my brothers and I had shared with her into a warm and moving service for our mother.

Carin helped me pull together a service that was a fitting tribute in spite of the challenges and she made a difficult situation less burdensome. She guided me through a process I was totally unfamiliar with. She took the time to talk with relatives to learn more about the person my father was and ultimately, helped our family hold a memorial service that everyone could appreciate. I could never have arranged the service without her.
