How to Join
We are proud to be the only not-for-profit incorporated association dedicated to Funeral Celebrancy in Australia.
Since our inception, we have encouraged and supported Celebrant Members with many interesting forums, professional days of learning, seminars and site visits, and continue to establish contacts and relationships with funeral related operatives across the country.
Importantly, the Australian public views us as an independent, reputable information source on funeral and memorial services.
We are not in the business of selling coffins, urns, flowers or embalming – we are here to guide families with their funeral questions and most importantly, craft meaningful ceremonies to give their loved ones a fitting farewell. We receive, and answer, many, many calls and emails from the public on their funeral questions.
