Qualifications for marrying/doing funerals

[Pearl]

I have a friend who is a registrar for the local town council and is licenced to be able to carry our marriages either at the registry office as well as various different venues like hotels etc, but I'm not sure about funerals (I will ask her). In the UK all marriages have to have a registrar present to keep the records, even in churches, apart from the Church of England where the vicars are licenced to perform weddings. It is definitely not a pastoral role but merely a job, but having said that a person can bring their own personality and something of themselves to any job.

Hi Mayflower, I asked her and she said she registers, births deaths and marriages
but not funerals as such, but when people die, she registers their deaths and issues the death certificates. But she does officiate at marriages too.

Well I asked my awesome husband to wait awhile to grow in his faith some for one, and also to figure out about church. He is going to come with me now, which is a blessing.
