Certified Funeral
Celebrant and Visual Artistsuzannegray@gmail.com |

For the past decade, I have given eulogies for family and friends and recently completed Funeral Celebrant training. Certified celebrants are trained in all aspects of end of life tributes and ceremonies. In addition to creating inspirational eulogies and keepsake art, I am also available to take sensitive photos during or after the funeral ceremony. I have thirty years of experience as a visual artist and educator. My art has been shown on the Today Show and Good Morning America and has received awards at many local, regional, and national venues. Oil paints and digital imagery are my media of choice. The melding of my visual and literary skills creates truly personal and unique final tributes. Part of my life mission is to work with children in impoverished regions. Currently I am involved in a cross cultural Hands Around the World project which, when completed, will have involved people world-wide.
