⭐ The Definition of a Funeral Celebrant: ⭐
A funeral celebrant is a formal term denoting members of a group of non-clergy professionals who are committed to preparing and delivering high-quality funeral ceremonies, which are not closely linked to any religion.
DID YOU KNOW? In addition to being a licensed funeral director, co-owner of Grace Funeral & Cremation Services Kristan McNames is a Certified Funeral Celebrant and was honored to be the first funeral director in the Rockford area to obtain this certification.
We realize the importance of being inclusive to all beliefs and are ready and willing to help you plan and deliver a celebration of your loved one's life. Give us a call. (815) 395-0559

We would love to talk about how we can accommodate you in the future. Please give us a call or check out our website.
Let's discuss what we can do for your loved-ones to honor their beautiful life.

Why is webcasting is a complimentary service we can offer to all of our families?
We'll be honest, this year has been pretty crazy, and even if members of the family or friends are not able to attend the funeral in person, or are high risk, at Grace Funeral & Cremation Services we think it's SO important for them to be able to have a sense of peace and closure that a funeral brings as well.
Webcasting allows your family and friends to join in your loved one's memorial or funeral service, through streaming video over the Internet, even if they cannot travel to the ceremony.
This video can be viewed live online, archived for delayed viewing, and downloaded to DVD for a permanent keepsake. Learn more at https://www.gracefh.com/ or give us a call. (815) 395-0559
We appreciate each and every one of you and those who are special to you.

Much love, from the Grace Funeral & Cremation Services team.
Your pet is your best friend, your caretaker, and your comforter. We know you want to treat them as special as another human life.

HERE IS A TIP! (Please share because it might help someone get through the day.)
Sometimes it is hard to know how to help someone who is grieving, depressed, in pain, in a time of loss, but one thing that will never hurt is picking up the phone to call.
A call, a text, or a voice message, can make someone's day. Especially when they can hear your voice.
Let them know you are thinking of them and that you are here to listen any time.
If you like tips like this, please share the love with us with your reactions and comments. We appreciate you!
