Sara Iley – Humanist Funeral Celebrant

Sara Iley - Humanist Celebrant NorthumberlandHello, my name is Sara and I am a Humanist Funeral Celebrant conducting ceremonies in and around Northumberland.

My Background

My inspiration to become a Humanist Funeral Celebrant followed the death of my Dad a number of years ago. I wrote and delivered his non-religious, personal ceremony and found it a very uplifting experience. Since then, I have written and presented a number of ceremonies for close friends and family which reaffirmed my decision to train as a Celebrant.

I had the privilege of working as an NHS nurse for 36 years. This enabled me to build on existing caring and compassion skills and work with people from all backgrounds, sometimes in very challenging circumstances.

Humanism is not simply the absence of religion, it is about being kind and living the one life we have with those around us.

If you choose me to write and conduct a ceremony for your loved one, I will guide and support you throughout our interactions to create a funeral ceremony that is a personal, true reflection of their life.
