I will work closely with you to create a unique and personal ceremony.

A typical funeral often includes pieces of music and readings. But the heart of the ceremony is the tribute section, which lasts up to 15 minutes and might be written by the celebrant and/or include a variety of tributes paid by family and friends.

Time for reflection follows, then the committal, and the funeral is drawn to a close with final words of thanks.

You may want to have a look at a typical structure of a humanist funeral.

Absolutely not. I am proud that each funeral ceremony I help to create is unique and crafted to reflect the individual concerned, so as to ensure a fitting and sincere way of remembering them.

I will meet key members of the family, often for several hours, to find out about the person that has died and discuss options for the ceremony.

Then I will write a unique script based on this information and the family’s preferences.

When you're pre-planning your own or supporting someone with their own funeral plan, you can consider your wishes for the ceremony, location, and any specific details you want to include to ensure it aligns with your values.

I can help by supporting you to plan the ceremony and offer some suggestions of a format, poems, readings, music, photography.

Your pre-planned funeral can be stored securely with Humanists UK, until the time it is needed.

" I feel empowered to have created my own funeral, another thing crossed off the list and I'm sure it'll raise a smile"           JM

Funeral ceremonies have no legal status in themselves so you are free to hold one wherever you choose. That said, most humanist funerals are held at crematoria, cemeteries, or woodland burial sites

Yes, and we know that religious people find humanist funerals just as moving and meaningful as those who aren’t religious.

We recognise that every funeral will be attended by guests of different faiths and of none, and feel that everyone present should feel comfortable and involved.

In particular, we always include a time for personal reflection which is an opportunity for those who wish to do so to pray

Yes, Humanist Celebrants conduct a growing number of memorial services held at a variety of venues.

Sometimes this is for practical reasons; perhaps the person died overseas or a very intimate funeral was requested.

But whatever the reason, a memorial service can give a family more flexibility about how, when and where they say goodbye to their loved one
