Hi, I'm Ed
As a Humanist, my approach to a funeral is to ensure that the deceased is remembered in the most appropriate way possible. I work with families to establish the correct tone in order to make the funeral exactly what they want. I understand that a funeral is something that no-one looks forward to and so will do everything I can to relieve any stresses associated with it. I am happy to conduct ceremonies at crematoriums or burial sites (and can provide music for the latter if required).

Operating throughout England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands, we deliver authentic, tailor-made and heartfelt ceremonies for life’s key moments. They are always inclusive and welcoming, regardless of the beliefs of those attending.
You can trust Humanist Ceremonies celebrants: We are DBS-checked, fully insured, and regularly peer reviewed for quality assurance. We are committed to a code of conduct, and have a transparent and robust complaints process in the rare case of a problem. We all pay a monthly fee to Humanists UK to further support the work of the charity, and are part of a regional network for like-minded celebrants for support and learning.
Humanist funerals
Humanist funerals, memorials and ash ceremonies are a fitting way to honour a unique life with warmth, sensitivity and meaning, but without reference to religion or an afterlife. They put the story of the person who has died at the heart of the ceremony, paying tribute to them and the legacy they leave, and provide an opportunity to bring people together, not just to share sadness but to celebrate a life lived.
