The most complete celebrant membership in the UK
Built with working funeral and wedding celebrants, APC Member Portal gathers the templates, guidance, calendars and invoicing you rely on into one trusted home, so every ceremony starts on strong footing and nothing gets forgotten.
How it works
From application to working smarter in four steps
Membership is personal and approved by hand — the reason this stays a trusted working space rather than an open folder.
01
Apply
Share your name, region and the ceremonies you lead. It takes about two minutes.
02
Get approved
A real person at APC reads every application, usually within two working days.
03
Sign in
Use a six-digit code emailed to you or set a password of your own — whichever suits how you work.
04
Get to work
Open the drives, file your own ceremonies, plan ahead and send an invoice, all from one place.
Inside the members area
The whole working week, organised
The drives are only the beginning. Around them sit the everyday tools that keep a busy celebrant calm, each one built for the ceremonies you actually lead.
Ceremony calendar
Log every funeral and wedding you are leading and choose when you want reminding; we email you before the day.
Meeting planner
Plan family and couple meetings, keep everyone's details together and set a reminder for the people involved.
Service directory
Search funeral directors, crematoriums and wedding venues across the UK, with phone, email, website and directions for each.
Invoice builder
Save your logo and details once, then build branded invoices for funeral directors or couples and download them as a PDF.
Help and guides
Step-by-step guidance sits beside the answers celebrants ask for most, so you are never left guessing.
Celebrant community
Share ideas and hard-won experience with other members on a feed you can search, like and comment on.
Shared drives
Shared drives, kept current by the team
The APC team keeps both drives up to date, so you are always working from the latest templates and guidance. Sign in and take whatever the ceremony in front of you needs.
Funeral Celebrant Drive
Members only
- Order of service master templates
- Readings, poems and eulogy frameworks

Your own folder
A private folder that is yours alone
Beside the shared drives, every approved member gets a personal folder for their own work, the drafts, orders of service and finished ceremonies that belong to you. Upload as you go, open them from any device, and keep them well out of everyone else's reach.
- Files stay linked to your account, and nobody else can open them
- Upload PDFs, Word documents, images and audio — whatever your ceremonies need
- Everything stays available for as long as your membership runs

Common questions
Answers before you apply
The questions celebrants ask us most before joining, answered in plain English. Open any one to read the full reply.
APC Member Portal is a members-only library and toolkit built with working funeral and wedding celebrants in the UK. Behind one sign-in it gathers the two shared ceremony drives, your own private folder, the ceremony and meeting calendars that email you reminders, the notice board, a UK service directory, the invoice builder and a members community.
Membership is open to celebrants who lead funeral ceremonies, wedding ceremonies, or both. Whether you are newly qualified or have been officiating for years, the resources are written for the ceremonies you actually deliver, and applications from across the UK are welcome.
You share your name, region and the ceremonies you lead on the join form, which takes about two minutes. You are emailed a confirmation straight away, and a real person at APC reads every application by hand, usually within two working days. Once you are approved you can sign in and the whole members area opens up.
Approved members get the funeral and wedding shared drives, a private folder for their own drafts and finished ceremonies, a ceremony calendar and meeting planner with email reminders, the notice board, a searchable UK service directory, a branded invoice builder you can download as a PDF, a members community feed, and step-by-step help guides.
You can sign in with a six-digit code emailed to you, or set a password of your own — whichever suits how you work. You can switch between the two at any time, and your private folder and the shared drives stay locked until you sign in.
The Help and guides page inside the members area collects step-by-step walkthroughs for the drives, private files, ceremony calendar and service directory, alongside answers to the questions celebrants ask most. If you would rather speak to someone, the APC office is a phone call or an email away.
Still have a question? The APC team is happy to help before you apply.
