Families are not walking away from meaning. They are walking away from language that does not resonate with them. Words like "traditional service" and "chapel" are closing doors before the conversation even begins.

Glenda Stansbury and Brent Patterson are bringing a session to Cremation Association of North America's 108th Annual Convention in Minneapolis this August specifically designed to help funeral professionals reframe the arrangement conversation and open those doors back up.

Come experience this unique Celebrant training led by InSight's Glenda Stansbury and Kathy Burns at The International Cemetery, Cremation and Funeral Association (ICCFA) University. Grab your seat now!

The 25 Year Celebrant Journey We saw Celebrants as part of the answer. A different way to think about how to create and craft services. A new practice of story telling as healing. A unique approach that could transform funeral firms.

Welcome new Celebrants from our Zoom training last week. We were joined by a wide variety of folks from funeral home owners, to death doulas, and pastors, as well as a mix of other professions. We know they will do a wonderful job of meeting the needs of families at one of the most difficult times in their lives.
