It’s a difficult feeling to express in writing, which is why I haven’t said anything before now, but today was a rather big milestone for me.
Last monday, my friend Miriam’s grandmother died, and she and her family asked me to conduct the funeral ceremony. I never met Helga, so while I was sad for my friend and her family, the pain wasn’t personal, and I was really touched to be trusted with such a special event.
The ceremony was this morning, and while I can’t say that it went off without a hitch, it went far better than I could have hoped for, and I think the family were happy with the ceremony.
And afterwards, I came home to an email from the AG’s department, telling me I am still on the waiting list for accreditation (I had to be re-assessed after the move for some reason). So hopefully this ceremony won’t be my last.
A huge thanks to Miriam and Malle, for trusting me with this important occasion. It’s a day I will never forget.

Lara did an excellent job with the ceremony! She is too modest. Professional preparation, smooth and polished delivery. The whole family were impressed, even those of my relatives who are usually hypercritical.
If you are looking for a civil celebrant, I highly recommend Lara.
