While some people of the secular worldview do not see a need for rituals and ceremonies of any kind, many feel that having a way of marking life passages is important. CFI feels that this is a personal choice and that secular ceremonies – and persons to conduct these ceremonies – should be available to those who want them. So, we created the Secular Celebrant Program to train and certify celebrants to perform non-religious weddings, commitment ceremonies, funerals, memorials, and other “milestones of life." By using the services of a CFI-certified secular celebrant, members of the non-religious community may mark life’s milestones in ways that are most personally meaningful to them. In addition, utilizing certified secular celebrants’ services to perform weddings will assist CFI in bringing legal challenges to laws that allow religious officials to solemnize marriages, but unconstitutionally bar representatives of secular organizations from doing so.

Part 1 - What is an honorarium? Traditionally, an honorarium is a monetary token of appreciation for someone who has performed a service for free. For example, at both weddings and funerals, it’s customary to offer an honorarium to the officiant/clergy who presided over the ceremony. Some churches will accept a monetary token of appreciation, while others will not. It all depends on the practices of that particular church or clergy person. But either way, it’s always good etiquette to determine whether offering one is appropriate or not. #honorarium #monetarytoken #customary #ceremony #appreciation #bestpractices #steenfuneralhomes

In most modern funerals, images are used as threads to bind cherished memories together. Whether displayed in a slideshow or on the cover of an order of service booklet, one key image can often capture a lifetime and evoke many emotions for the people gathered to say goodbye. This selection process typically happens shortly after or not long before a loved one's death. We have often seen that choosing the right photo to represent an entire life is daunting and emotional for those involved. Getting the right image is an important process, and we know that sifting through a life represented in photos can be difficult and emotional but also cathartic for all involved. Planning ahead for expected deaths and discussing preferences for photos, venue, and music beforehand can provide comfort and reduce that background stress that many feel during what is often a very emotional time.
