Pre-Planned Funeral Ceremony Service

I have recently gained accreditation from Humanist UK to offer this service. The pre-planned funeral ceremony service can help you plan for your funeral.  It is for people seeking to plan their funeral following a life limiting diagnosis, or because they wish to put their affairs in order.

Pre-planning your funeral can bring reassurance and peace of mind. When there are no plans for a funeral ceremony, loved ones may have to guess what our wishes might be and this can cause confusion and disagreement. The pre-planned service allows you to discuss your funeral wishes with a celebrant in advance, and know that these have been recorded.

I would talk to you about the type of funeral or memorial service you would like to have, who you would like to be involved, what music should be played, which poems or text should be included, and whether you would like anyone to contribute a tribute or a reading. I can advise on many practical matters, and suggest ways in which to make the ceremony unique and meaningful.

Your wishes will be recorded and securely stored. Any notes or scripts that the celebrant has written will be kept in a secure repository. If I was no longer available to take the ceremony, it can be delivered in exact accordance with your wishes by another member of Humanists UK’s large network of accredited funeral celebrants.

The fee the celebrant will charge will reflect the level of service you require: an enquiry (free of charge); consultation only; script writing; a full ceremony delivery.
