Religious Leaders

A religious leader is a person you can count on before, during or after someone you love dies. They will provide you with emotional support and are often available to help guide you through the decisions to be made when planning an end-of-life celebration.

If you are not a member of a religious organization but would like to incorporate religion into your ceremony, you can still contact a religious leader. You should look for someone whose faith is similar your own by asking family and friends for recommendations.

Religious leaders do not charge a fee for their services, but it is customary to give an honorarium as a token of appreciation for their time and support.
