CR Seminare

CR Seminare, led by professional speaker, journalist, and trainer Carsten Riedel, provides practical training and professional development for speakers, funeral directors, businesses, and teams. Drawing on real-world experience, its courses combine clear methods, hands-on exercises, and constructive feedback while encouraging participants to develop an authentic personal style.

The core offering is a four-day, in-person funeral celebrant training course in Zwickau. Participants learn to prepare and conduct bereavement conversations, shape personal eulogies, plan memorial services, incorporate music and rituals, and deliver speeches with confidence. The program also addresses composure in difficult situations and the balance between empathy and professional boundaries. CR Seminare offers further training for established celebrants, including advanced courses, voice and presence workshops, individual coaching, and observation opportunities. Funeral homes can access celebrant courses and tailored in-house training, while organizations and teams can book customized sessions in de-escalation, communication, systemic team consulting, and self-care. Courses are offered in open and in-house formats, with personal guidance available to help clients choose an appropriate program.
