Hello, my name is Cath York and I conduct funerals and celebration of life ceremonies in North Tyneside and across the North East.
Losing someone you love is always difficult and it can seem daunting to be faced with the practicalities of organising their funeral.
I can help you through this whole process and make sure that the funeral ceremony reflects the life and the personality of the person who has died. I will work with you to understand their life story and the sort of person they were, to create a fitting tribute to them. This can include tributes from family and friends and meaningful music, readings and poetry, as appropriate.
Humanist ceremonies are non-religious, reflecting the fact that faith was not an important part of the life of the deceased. However, they are inclusive and welcome those of all faiths to the ceremony.
A Humanist funeral ceremony may take place in a crematorium, or it may be a burial in a graveyard or burial site. Alternatively, it may be a memorial service at a venue of your choice. This type of service is becoming more popular for families who opt for direct cremations.
Whatever you have chosen, I will work with you to make sure that the ceremony is exactly what you want it to be and that it is perfect for the person whose life has ended.

Please do contact me if you are looking for a professional celebrant to create and lead a non-religious ceremony for your loved one. I am more than happy to have an initial conversation with you to explain more about what I do and how I work.
