Hello! My name is Susan Hodges and I’m a Humanist Ceremonies funeral celebrant, trained and accredited by Humanists UK.
As a Humanist Funeral Celebrant, I believe that a funeral should be completely personal and wholly focussed on the life of the person who has died whilst taking care of the needs of those who knew and loved them. My aim is to provide a bespoke, personalised ceremony that will commemorate the deceased and allow their loved ones the opportunity to say goodbye as they wish to. To achieve this, I work closely with families to incorporate personal stories, memories, and tributes into the ceremony. I can guide you on choices, if needed, and also suggest other elements to make the ceremony right for everyone involved.
The ceremonies that I deliver will be non-religious but will be inclusive and welcoming to those with religious beliefs. I understand that families are diverse and varied in their beliefs and it is important for this to be taken into account when creating a ceremony that is authentic and true for all.
