Lauren H., Lexington, KY
Here is the feedback from one of our graduates about her Instructor, Dr. Mike Conley…
Your kind words have brought me to happy tears! I really cannot tell you how valuable your evaluations have been to me… The opportunity to develop a rapport with you and receive your feedback has allowed me to feel more comfortable in my role as a death doula. I am so grateful that the universe brought me to GMU.

Following is the awesome testimony of our very first graduate:
The Celebrant Program was an incredible program for me to complete. Even though I am a minister, I found the classes challenging as well as an opportunity for growth. I was able to discover what my strengths and weaknesses were as well as remember the importance of “being open at the top”. What I liked about the program was that each class built upon the other one. Laying the foundation for the meaning, ethical issues, and significance of the celebrant role paved the way to begin creating ceremonies in future classes and assignment. I was very impressed with the willingness of all of my instructors available for questions and support but the amount of time that each one spent with me on the phone wrapping up the class, answering questions, providing feedback, and overall caring about my experience in the program. I truly hope that all of them continue working in this program and have successful personal practices as well.
Thank you for creating this program and providing the space for those of us who enjoy creating ceremonies an avenue to hone our skills, gain more confidence, while building a portfolio of ceremonies and rituals.

Deborah S. H., Las Vegas, NV
This graduate enrolled in the Funerals Program so that she could provide a personalized service for those going through the devastating process of laying their loved one to rest:
I got what I needed and a bit more. This program prompted me to think about my own life quite a bit as wel las how I could support others in a group as well. There is much to continue learning with this role as aa funeral celebrant.
I greatly appreciated being able to talk to the director and he was thoughtful and timely in his response to my submissions and emails. The resources and written examples were very helpful and supported the assignments.

We were honored to have a Funeral Director, who is preparing to be a Funeral Celebrant when she retires, select our program:
I have truly enjoyed the course … As a funeral director, a lot of the requirements are very familiar to me…
I believe that I got honest and constructive feedback which is always great. I will truly recommend this course to others. Thank you for the opportunity.

Here is a graduate whose tuition was being paid by a funeral home Director and he selected our Celebrant Training Program:
"...I don't think I have ever had a busier year than I have had the past 12 or 13 month.. The youth program i oversee has grown to over 300 kids a day. The wedding portion of my business has also grown this year and I am being asked by the funeral homes to please please get my Celebrant license. ... I could always use my Universal Life license but after reading the materials, I know this is the right path for me to take."
