As we pass through life, we celebrate many occasions filled with joy and love, accomplishment and striving, loss and grief. The message of the humanist is emphasis on the potential goodness of life - humanist ceremonies are ingredients to a life well lived. CFI-L.A. can provide celebrants to officiate at the above celebrations and can also provide facilities.

For information about celebrants, contact Jim Underdown at
