These eulogy pros are at your service

They’re breathing new life into death.

Nonsectarian “celebrants” are replacing priests and rabbis as funeral eulogizers and officiants, offering remembrances specially tailored to the deceased instead of regurgitating common prayers.

“People nowadays are looking for a more personalized ceremony rather than a traditional funeral service,” said Tony Assande, 61, a retired funeral director who became a celebrant in 2013. “It makes people feel closer to the one who passed.”

“I did one ceremony for a man who loved to bowl. I based everything on verbiage from bowling, like saying, ‘He could always spare a helping hand.’ We also lit 300 candles because he rolled a 300 game.”

April Simanoff (inset), 49, a celebrant for six years, said, “It’s really all about getting the stories of the deceased and getting to know them.”

Celebrants said they make $350 to $500 per client and business is booming.

“Many people are more spiritual and don’t want religion introduced into the service,” said Simanoff, of Melville, LI.

One customer, who requested anonymity, raved about Assande’s talent: “After Tony spoke during the ceremony for my mother, people thought he was part of the family. I really felt that he honored my mother.”
