Angela Corey
Civil Celebrant
Hello my name is Angela, welcome to my website.
I would like to share a little bit about myself and how I came to be a Civil Celebrant.
In 2006 my Father passed away quite suddenly at the age of 56. It was a huge shock for us all and we all coped in different ways.
Two years later I questioned my own grief, which led to me being referred for Bereavement Support to help me understand where I was in my grief journey.
In 2012 I trained with Cruse Bereavement Care and became a Bereavement Support Worker for them.
This then led to my next role as a Funeral Administrator for a corporate Funeral Director. I was so passionate about this role as it was such a privilege.
In 2016 my Mother died and I officiated her funeral service myself. People said that I should think about becoming a celebrant but I wasn't ready for it at that time.
After almost 3yrs I was promoted to the position of Funeral Director which in many ways took me away from being able to offer and provide the support I had been to families when I was an Administrator.
My role as a Funeral Director provided me with more experience of funeral services and over my 50 years i stood at the back of thousands of funerals.
Becoming a Celebrant has been the best decision I have made in my working life.
This role gives me everything that I was looking for. This isn't just a job for me. I sit with families and I know that this is exactly where I should be.
What I do, really is a privilege.
