Laurence Van Kleek - Funeral Celebrant

I am Canadian and married with three grown children. I worked in an educational institution in BC where I served mostly young adults for several decades. Over the years I have conducted or participated in many funerals, memorials, and some gatherings or wakes. I received training in a Canadian urban hospital and a U.S. prison hospital. I am a Funeral Celebrant with the CCAOC (Certified Celebrants Association of Canada) and trained through Celebrating Life Ministries. Also, I am an Ordained Minister for several decades and served as both a volunteer and Relief Chaplain in a local Psychiatric Prison Hospital. I hold diplomas, a BA, and three master’s degrees (MDiv, MA, MLS).

Honoured for Service (April 26, 2019)
