About Monette

Monette Gould, funeral celebrant

I am a fluently bilingual funeral celebrant who became certified in April 2019 by the Insight Institute based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. After singing at funeral services for the past 40 years, I realized that changes are happening in our society regarding these celebrations. People are seeking a more personal approach.

In addition to my role as a certified celebrant, I am also a professional singer, performer and a university voice professor.

For several years, before becoming a professional musician, I volunteered and worked with seniors as well as with mentally and physically challenged youth and adults.

I have been told that I have great sensitivity and empathy for people who are grieving. I will retell the story of your loved one’s life with the outmost kindness and gentleness – be they a child, spouse, partner, family member or friend.
