There is an increasing demand for non-religous funeral ceremonies. Where many people choose to live without religion, a secular celebration of the life of the deceased is more appropriate.Humanists value life and humanity and feel that, as every life is unique, it should be celebrated in a final meaningful ceremony. Following a meeting with the family, the celebrant will compile a tribute, and this, plus other tributes, poems and a piece of favourite music, form the basis of the ceremony - which is held usually at the crematorium or in a funeral home. There is a fee for the service which is paid by the Funeral Director to the celebrant on the day. |
