 Margie Wegener Wedding Celebrant and Freelance Writer was the speaker at the Rotary Club of Cooroy meeting on Monday 24 March. Margie explained the role of the celebrant working closely with families to understand their wishes and create a ceremony that reflects the life, values, and beliefs of the deceased. Liaising with religion and funeral directors and explaining options at funerals a civil funeral celebrant is a person who officiates at funerals which are not closely connected with religious beliefs and practices. They are analogous to civil celebrants for marriage ceremonies.
