Bespoke funeral and memorial ceremonies

Bespoke, humanist funerals and memorials are non-religious ceremonies that support family and friends to mourn and to celebrate the person who has died. They focus on the life they led, the relationships they forged, and the legacy they left. Our funerals and memorials are based on the perspective that every life is individual and valuable.

Ceremonies are both a celebration of a life and a dignified, personal farewell. They’re the perfect option for families who want a sincere, personal reflection on the life of their loved one. This can be especially important if the person who died wasn’t particularly religious, meaning a religious funeral could feel inauthentic and not true to who they were in life.

Bespoke humanist funerals and memorial services offer a personal and fitting way to support families in saying goodbye to those who have lived without religion. Many thousands are conducted each year.

When numbers and time slots at crematoria are often so restricted, the bespoke nature of what we offer allows you the choice to have a small ceremony at the crematorium chapel, but plan a fuller celebration of life memorial for where you can be more creative and celbrate the life and personality of your loved one more freely.

 

 

 

Arranging a funeral

While a funeral director is the professional most likely to deal with the practical arrangements of a funeral, if you prefer to contact me directly, that’s absolutely fine too.  Either way, what type of ceremony you choose is entirely up to you.

Please also consider that you are not limited to holding the service at the crematorium chapel or graveside – where timings are very short and very strictly adhered to!

You can hold your funeral or memorial ceremony in any Covid secure venue, where time might be less pressured and have a direct cremation or burial before or afterward.
