Our lead facilitators are Wayne and Rosanne Prevett. It is rare that a week passes without them leading a life celebration of some kind, and the course is taught from that week’s experience rather than from a manual.
Between them, Wayne and Rosanne have officiated more than 7,000 life celebrations (weddings, funerals and new life celebrations), including over 2,000 funerals. They have trained and certified more than 2,000 celebrants. They are co-founders of the Certified Celebrants Association and of Life Celebrations Academy.
Working professionals who contribute to the course from inside the funeral profession, bringing perspectives the facilitators cannot give on their own.
Funeral home owner in Chatham, Ontario, with fifteen years in community ministry and hundreds of life celebrations officiated. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Theology, has served on the board of a Children’s Aid Society, and contributes on the working relationship between a celebrant and a funeral home.
A licensed funeral director and licensed insurance agent who has helped hundreds of families plan their life celebration services. She contributes on pre-planning, on what families are navigating before a celebrant ever meets them, and on the practical realities of the funeral profession.
Two days, live over Zoom, capped at ten participants so everyone presents and everyone gets feedback.
