Ceremonial roles
This is the official site of the Australian Marriage Celebrants Program. Anything you read elsewhere that is inconsistent with this site is not accurate.
From time to time persons expressing an interest in authorisation as a marriage celebrant also enquire about the authority to officiate at funerals and name-giving services. The Attorney-General's Department has no responsibility for authorising celebrants to conduct non-marriage ceremonies such as funerals, name-giving and commitment ceremonies, and other similar ceremonies. You will need to contact the relevant State or Territory Government authorities to find out whether there are any restrictions on funeral services in your State or Territory.
You might also like to contact the Celebrant Associations in your state for information on other ceremonial roles.
