Whenever we are first discussing Humanism with people, the first comment that is always made is that they might not have much knowledge about Humanism but they have been to a Humanist funeral or wedding. This is usually followed up by a comment about how wonderful they felt it had been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often we get contacted by the family of someone who has recently passed. Their loved one was not-religious and they want to arrange a funeral that respects that, rather than hold it in a church (that they likely had no connection with). In this case we would help them find a Humanist Celebrant, so that they can arrange the details with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Humanist funeral will be an individually tailored event, that looks to respect the wishes of the loved one and the life they had lived. Each one will be unique.<\/p>\n\n\n
