Hi, I'm Jenny
Loosing someone who is important to you is a time of difficult and sometimes mixed emotions. For many people a standard religious ceremony does not resonant with their or their loved ones beliefs. A humanist ceremony allows you to say goodbye and celebrate all that they meant to you in a meaningful and memorable way.
I have been conducting Humanist Funerals for over ten years now and regard it as an honour and a privilege to work with families to craft a ceremony which truly reflects the person they have lost. While there is inevitable sadness there is often joy and laughter as well, as people remember the things they have learnt and gained from sharing some of their lives with their loved one. Each ceremony is unique as each person is unique. All are delivered in a warm and dignified manner which reflects the occasion.
Whether you are choosing a service in a crematorium, a burial, or a celebration of life following a direct cremation I can support and guide you to give the person you have lost a fitting farewell. A copy of the ceremony is given to you afterwards.

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.
