“The force that through the green fuse drives the flower” Dylan Thomas. Green Fuse is the life force. Life and death are one.

“World class training. In depth, thorough, highly professional and run by thoughtful, caring and wonderful people who work full time in the industry. I can’t fault it in any way.” Cecilia le Poer Power November 2016

This is a very important and multi-faceted role which takes time to learn and to consolidate. You need the best possible training to prepare you thoroughly – your first funeral has to be excellent to meet the needs of that family. This is not something that can be learned in a few days or on a correspondence course, as it requires depth, thought, soulfulness.
Our exclusive* Level 3 Diploma For Funeral Celebrants UK is just what you need if you want to take on the tender and soulful work of helping a family create a beautiful and meaningful funeral ceremony. Come and train with us and take your time to learn how to accompany a grieving family kindly and skilfully, to listen carefully to what they want, write an accurate and beautiful funeral ceremony with heart and soul, and deliver this with warmth and calm reassurance. If you have the vision we have the means to help you turn this into reality, a fulfilling a worthwhile career. * This is the only Diploma with a major module on creating ritual in funerals and can only be taught by Green Fuse.

Clare Steele wrote on 8th December 2016 after her first funeral: “Thank you so much for the wonderful training. I felt remarkably calm because I knew what I needed to do, and the ceremony went so well. I felt strangely elated afterwards and so privileged to be part of this day. The feedback was wonderful, many people said it was not like any other funeral they had ever been to, and two people asked for my card. Today I had a lovely email from the family and James Showers, the funeral director.”

Our aim is to help you to be the best celebrant you can be in your own individual manner. And we will support you all the way, far beyond the end of the course.

“The training has real depth and impact. I have learnt a huge amount about all aspects of the work – not just about funerals, but about grief, active listening, presentation, group work – all handled so sensitively and thoughtfully by the trainers. Who would have thought a course about funerals could be so stimulating and so joyful!” Judith Hinman March 2017

I was thinking about you this morning as it’s now been a year since I first came on your training course. I loved every minute of our five days together and thanks to everything I learned from you I am now making my living as a celebrant. I’m doing a couple of funerals a week and I’ve lost count of the number of people who have told me that mine was the best funeral they have ever attended. Your training on eulogy writing, flow and ritual have been invaluable. I would like to thank you most heartily for setting me up for such a rewarding career. I had no idea how life affirming it was going to be and, astonishingly, how much fun. I thought I might struggle with the sadness of it all but this is far from the case.” Vanessa Milligan September 2016

“I want to say thank you for the celebrant training. After the service someone introduced himself as the quality inspector for contract funerals, and told me it was the best he’d seen anywhere. And that was my first funeral! After that the paid work started coming in. I have just come back from taking a funeral, and received more compliments in the course of five minutes than in the whole of the rest of my life. This is wonderful work to be involved with, and it feels as if I have now “come home” to myself. So thanks again to the Green Fuse team for making it happen.” Cliff Smith July 2016

“The opportunities provided for us by Green Fuse are seemingly limitless and certainly inspirational. Fresh ideas, new ways of doing things that make us all that little bit special and to be honest I love to be a part of Green Fuse.” Paul Hamby, funeral celebrant, Hull

Thank you for the inspirational start to the course – it vastly exceeded my expectations and I am really impressed with how it is structured. Your experience, support, continuity and encouragement to do this vital work well has been so appreciated.” Amanda Hurrell. Jan 2016

My training with Green Fuse was one of the best decisions of my life, and I am astounded by how much I learned.” Stella Toynbee

"What I love about this job is that we can follow our hearts and give over and above what is expected . . . Green Fuse changed my life." Gil Barnett

"What can I say!? Thank you so much Jane and Simon. You have done a great job. My first funeral as a celebrant, and even the crematorium phoned to say thanks and what a good job it was."
