I attended a memorial celebration in Edinburgh recently, and witnessed Andrew and Kenny fulfilling their responsibilities as celebrants in a way that was warm and empathetic, and also appropriate to the occasion and the audience. Kenny honoured the deceased with a well-researched tribute, which he delivered in a relaxed and pleasant cadence. Andrew and Kenny are both very musical, and together they played tunes and sang songs which were favourites of the deceased and highlighted significant aspects of her life. To me they demonstrated a natural aptitude for the vocation of celebrant.
