The Tribute Foundation, in partnership with NYSFDA, is once again offering a Certified Celebrant Training at the NYSFDA headquarters building in Albany. Our instructors will be from the In-Sight Institute.

This training is specifically designed for anyone interested in understanding the process of the funeral service and in learning how to personalize and design meaningful funerals or tributes. A successful celebrant is one who enjoys working with people, has writing and public speaking ability, as well as listening and consulting skills. Our seminars have attracted a wide-variety of participants including: funeral directors; preneed and aftercare specialists; hospice professionals; clergy; chaplains; business people; and students.

Facilitator Training Programs Scheduled for Suicide and Substance Use Bereavement Support Groups

As the nationwide suicide and opioid epidemics continue to shatter families in the U.S., the need for support groups to help survivors is growing.

To address this need, the NYS Tribute Foundation has developed a training program for individuals to learn how to establish a support group dedicated to those bereaved by suicide or substance use death.
