Humanist funeral

The Humanist outlook rests on the belief that human rights should apply to all people, and on combining compassion with reason. Ethics and culture are important elements.

What usually happens at the ceremony?

The non-religious funeral is shaped entirely around the wishes of the family or of the person who has died.

The officiant builds a picture of the person who has died through conversations with the family, in order to give a eulogy. The choice of music is an important part of the ceremony.

What is useful to know?

• A non-religious venue is used.
• The ceremony is shaped entirely as you wish.
• The place should be suited to non-religious funerals.

What do we help with?

We find a suitable venue and prepare the ceremony together with the officiant.

The content of the ceremony belongs to the family and the congregation. We make sure that everything around it is in place in time: collection and transport, day or night, coffin and urn, contact with the cemetery authority, the death notice and the online memorial, and all the paperwork for the authorities.

What does it cost?

The same price list applies whatever the tradition. See what a funeral costs, or call us and we will work out the figures for your situation.
