As Celebrants we celebrate inclusion and diversity. It is one of the reasons we chose to train as a Celebrant and forms an intrinsic part of our values.

Occasionally, when working as a Celebrant, you may be asked to deliver a funeral for a transgender person. This means, the gender the person identifies as is not the same gender they were assigned at birth.

While writing and delivering a funeral for a transgender person is no different to the process for any other person, complications can arise when it comes to matters such as pronouns, eulogy wording and supporting the family of the deceased

"a trans person has actually died twice. who they were born as and who they thought they were..."

'They' is the operative word. Imagine giving a eulogy and being prodded to constantly refer to a person as a they instead of a he or she. Talk about awkward.

Never heard of this organization before—are they associated with any particular religion? It seems to be UK-based...and very supportive of “trans” ideology.

It’s cultural Marxism, which is a religion. Just not a normal religion.

You don’t have to use pronouns. Just refer to them by name and don’t affirm transgenderism.

not the same gender they were assigned at birth.

No one is "assigned a gender" at birth. What happens at birth is that the baby's sex is recorded.

Substitute the word trans with the word fake. It will solve your Celebrant nightmare.
Who writes this bs?

Any autopsy by a ME or an archeologist in ten thousand years will instantly determine the FACT of the decedent’s gender.
