We had a last minute cancelation for our fathers memorial service and Ernie was able to take it on very short notice. Not only make it but he did an incredible job. He was empathic, kind and it felt like he knew my dad personally, even though he's never met him. After the service we had multiple people ask us for his information because he did such a great job. I would recommend his services to anyone that's in need of them.

We were able to plan our Mother's funeral/celebration of life with Ernie Claeson. He helped our family plan the service for our Mother and made it very comfortable during this difficult time. He was available to us via conference calls and emails/texts since we were out of state to plan her service. Our experience with Ernie was outstanding and we highly recommend him!!

When our mom passed, we were completely lost. We did our best to plan a beautiful celebration of life for her and at the last moment, we decided on an efficient for the service. What a blessing Ernie is. Not only did he represent our mother in the most loving and kind way, but he also guided us through the process with understanding and grace. Our family will be forever grateful for the beautiful ceremony that Ernie helped us create.

I can't even begin to express my families extreme gratitude for this Man. Ernie is a God send to this Earth and fantastic at his craft! I reached out to him regarding my beloved mother's celebration of life. He immediately made an appointment for the following week to discuss details. At the meeting his office was very clean and inviting, as was Ernie. We discussed our situation and I gave him the time and date we were planning on. Unfortunately for us he was booked out that day. But what he did next was over the top. He gave me his personal# and said he'd at least like to help plan and guide me through the service even if he couldn't be there. We met one more time and he gave me a wealth of suggestions to make Mom's day special and have some order to the celebration. I couldn't have been more happy! As the day approached I was starting to get overwhelmed with the responsibility of doing the speaking myself. By the grace of God. 4 days before the celebration he called me to inform me that his schedule had lightened up that day and if we were able to push things an hour or two into the afternoon he could make it! We were extatic! He did a wedding at the base of Mt hood that morning and then drove straight to the beach where the celebration was to be! He was right on time and he did an Amazing job! To drive all that way and preform like he did on such short notice was nothing short of a miracle for my family. Not only that, he offered his services to do the ash ceremony after the fact! He didn't start home until almost 8pm. He made no attempts to hurry us along between the celebration and ash ceremony even though he had a long drive back to Portland. He was Kind, attentive, sincere, and calm the whole time. Which is exactly what we needed. His demeanor and delivery are unmatched. If you are looking for someone to honor your loved one and give them an awesome send off, look no further! You've found your guy. I 1000% recommend Portland Celebrant to make your day as special as your loved one deserves! Thank you Ernie! From the bottom of all of our hearts!

I had a experience that was amazing. I had lost a co-worker and a very close friend!
The experience was amazing and seamless for sure!
Ernie is so passion about his words and dedication of a close relationship/ family or co-worker!
The family was thrilled. Ernie was calm and so patience with the family members about their stories and getting the stories down for timing! But also respectful of there family member.
I would recommend Ernie in a heartbeat for his drive and Dedication!
