Each funeral ceremony is unique and there is no fixed format however this is an example of what a humanist funeral ceremony may look like..
Music to begin
Introduction by the humanist celebrant (this may include a brief explanation of humanism and some thoughts about life and death)
Poem/Reading
Tribute
Readings / contributions from family and friends
Music for reflection
The Committal (sometimes another piece of music is played here)
Closing Words
Music to end
After the ceremony I provide a bound presentation copy of the script, including all contributions from others, for you to keep and read in the months and years to follow.
