Euan Ferguson, writer for The Observer newspaper attended the South Bank’s Festival “Death: A Festival for the Living” last month. Here is a link to the article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2012/may/13/funerals-death-humanist-euan-ferguson

He was impressed by the creativity you can now utilise, to help your family to give you the send off you really want at the end of your life.

And of course, Humanist Celebrants were at the Festival, on the British Humanist Association stand, to answer people’s questions, and explain how we are trained to make the most of life, with personal ceremonies for your beginning, your adult maturity and your end.

Is this what you would value when you die?

From the Irish Times today:

So now every Humanist Celebrant in Ireland as well as Scotland will hold a Register and be able to include a legal marriage certificate in the personal, unique wedding ceremony created specially for each couple.

Please do join the British Humanist Association’s campaign to make our personal ceremonies for you legal in England and Wales too.

Until then, if you want to make your wedding day extra special, by creating your own ceremony as part of your reception and party, indoors or outdoors, in the evening as well as during the day, you do need to legally register your marriage at your local Council offices a day or so before your wedding day.  But thousands of couples know that planning their wedding day around their unique humanist wedding ceremony is still utterly worthwhile – please see independent reviews at the bottom of this listing:
