Funeral Celebrant
Eric Gill’s
3 Module + 2-day Class Course.

His Philosophy

Eric is convinced that while conventional skills training gives people new techniques and methods, it doesn’t always develop maturity, belief, or courage, so essential for the development of a successful Celebrant.

Therefore, in his opinion performance and capability are ultimately dependent on people's attitude and emotional maturity.

Because of these factors, Eric’s Training focuses on developing people as well as their skills, providing learning and experiences relevant to their own personal interest, development, and fulfillment.

His unique, style of part distance learning and a 2-day classroom teaching is called ‘Direct & Supported Celebrant Learning’.
A program designed to develop confidence, initiative, and problem-solving capabilities among his students.

In this course, Eric will reveal typical scenarios, show how to handle certain situations that can sometimes evolve in a Celebrant’s career –
He will explain how visiting bereaved and grieving families demands a degree of emotional intelligence principles and a caring attitude, one that fits very well with modern approaches but also has traditional values.

His ambition is to teach you to be an excellent funeral celebrant, and to be conducting funerals within a month of completing the course.

If you decide to enroll in his course he will send you 3 detailed modules, either emailed over to your PC or phone or be delivered by USB to your door. This allows you an opportunity to understand how the Funeral Business operates, thus underlying the celebrant role.

Then approximately 1 month later you will complete your training by attending a 2-day classroom ‘ready to do the job’ conclusion of the course session.

He will teach you how to speak, how to write eulogies, and how to write and deliver complete services, there will be writing assignments during these days so please bring a laptop- Eric will guide you from start to finish.

He expects your total commitment. You have got to understand the role you will play in people’s lives.

Training to be a Funeral Celebrant necessitates dedication and involvement from the start.

With confidence and integrity, emotionally, you automatically become more proactive, you will become solution-focused, and responsive, breeding self-confidence, leading to your being an understanding celebrant.

Yes, that's right Eric is Training Funeral Celebrants again!

Eric had already personally trained over 50 celebrants for the County Celebrants Network in the last 10 years and reluctantly. after Covid Isolation had decided to retire, but due to 'popular' requests, he has been persuaded to carry on and teach again.

Despite pleading retirement in 2021 he trained (1 to 1) 6 celebrants who are all working successfully as Funeral Celebrants

Eric's County Celebrant Training program teaches students how to face the challenge of developing greater confidence, initiative, solutions, and problem-solving capability.

His training style encourages students to be more self-sufficient, resourceful, creative, and autonomous. This tutorial enables them to operate independently,

Individual effort produces bigger results.

Eric finds that, while some conventional skills training teaches new techniques and methods, it does not always develop their maturity, belief, or courage, which is so essential for the development of successful Celebrant’s capabilities.

Because of these factors, his training methods focus on developing the person, not the skills. Reviewing his past experiences of over 2000 funeral services creates a personal interest in future development.

He appreciates that performance and capability are ultimately dependent on people's attitudes and emotional maturity.

Thus by helping them to achieve what they want on a personal level, provides a platform for trust.

Eric's participative role-play teaching works well in beginning this type of attitudinal development. It involves the student right from the start.

He focuses on the job. It’s a personal development mentoring scheme that immediately begins to set the scene by creating eulogies, structure, and thus building ceremonies.

Of course, he realizes that being a Funeral Celebrant starts with the person, not the skills. It is vitally important to have a caring attitude and emotional maturity. Visiting bereaved and grieving families demands a degree of emotional intelligence principles and methodologies that fit very well with modern approaches to developing people's beliefs, maturity, and attitude.

Eric sees how important it is to develop confidence and integrity, thus emotionally, they automatically become more proactive, solutions-focused, responsive, etc., which across a whole spectrum has a cumulative effect and breeds self-confidence to be an understanding Funeral celebrant.

If you think you have all these traits, then why not sign up to be trained?

Eric has courses throughout the year in Melksham Wiltshire. They consist of 3 modules (sent monthly) that prepare you in advance and teach you everything you need to know about the Funeral business.

These modules are detailed, and all have questionnaires to be completed by the student sent in advance of a two day ‘learn how to do the job' training session in Melksham, where the following will be taught or explained:
