Funeral Celebrant Day

November 27, 2026

Logo for Funeral Celebrant Day

Funeral Celebrant Day, launching in 2024 and held on a Friday in November, is a day dedicated to recognising the compassionate work of funeral celebrants and educating communities about the options available for personalised final farewells. Funeral celebrants play a unique role in helping families create meaningful ceremonies that honour their loved ones, offering a range of options that reflect individual beliefs, values, and preferences.

Funeral Celebrant Day is an opportunity for celebrants around the world to connect with their communities, demystify their work, and highlight the value of personalisation in end-of-life ceremonies. Through events, information sessions, and online engagement using #FCD24 and #funeralcelebrantday, celebrants aim to provide greater awareness and understanding of the options for creating a heartfelt farewell.

Promote awareness and appreciation for Funeral Celebrant Day with these content ideas:

  • Explain what a funeral celebrant does and how their role differs from that of religious officiants or other ceremony leaders.
  • Post about the importance of personalising a funeral or memorial service, sharing how celebrants help create unique and meaningful ceremonies.
