Enhance Your Skills with a Funeral Celebrants Course

For those who feel called to provide deeper continuity of care, our Funeral Celebrants’ Course, offered by our parent organisation, Celebrant Training Australia (Est. 2018), beautifully complements the Online End-of-Life Doula Training Course. By adding this qualification, you are able to support families not only through the dying process, but also through the sacred act of honouring a life after death.

Celebrant Training Australia offers three Funeral Course alternatives, so please feel free to see if one suits your budget and time restraints. With the learning and in-depth knowledge you acquire by completing the Online End-of-Life Doula course, we can recommend the Compendium “The Art of Funeral Services” if you do not wish to receive a “Statement of Attainment”.

By completing both trainings, you will be able to:

Offer complete, holistic end-of-life support — from vigil and emotional care through to crafting and delivering a meaningful funeral or memorial service.
Create personalised, heartfelt ceremonies that reflect the values, culture, and story of the person who has passed.
Support families with clarity and confidence during the immediate days after death, a time when they often feel most overwhelmed.
Expand your doula practice with an additional professional service that is deeply needed and deeply appreciated.
Provide continuity and comfort by being a familiar, trusted presence from the final days through to the farewell ritual.
Strengthen your role as a community-based, holistic end-of-life practitioner, grounded in compassion, ritual, and respectful storytelling.

Together, these two courses empower you to walk beside individuals and families through the entire end-of-life journey – offering practical guidance, emotional support, and ceremonial leadership with integrity and grace.

Both programmes provide essential training, practical skills, and in-depth knowledge to support you in becoming a confident and professional practitioner in these emotionally rewarding and much-needed fields of end-of-life planning and care.

We would be delighted to offer you a 20% discount should you wish to register for both courses. The End-of-Life Doula course is $900 and the Funeral Celebrants’ course is $350; with the discount applied, the total investment would be $1,000.

Now is the time to answer the call. Join us in this powerful journey and become part of a community committed to compassionate end-of-life care whether the Sacred Passage Online End-of-Life Doula Course and/or the Funeral Celebrant’s Course.
