Sarah Ritchie

As a certified Celebrant and Non-Denominational Minister, I create and deliver personalized memorials, celebrations of life, and funerals throughout the NYC Tri-State area.

As a Life-Cycle Celebrant, I work with individuals and families of all philosophical orientations—those who have some connection to a religious tradition or are spiritually inclined, as well as people who consider themselves secular.  I’ve graduated from programs at the Celebrant Foundation & Institute (USA) and One Spirit Learning Alliance.  Currently I am completing the Thanatology certificate at the New York Open Center’s Art of Dying Institute.

In all ceremonies, I strive to provide the utmost service in crafting and delivering an exceptional and moving ceremony. With training in end-of-life care and through my work as a Life-Cycle Celebrant, I am extremely sensitive to the needs of a family in grief.
