Hi, I'm Tom

I’m Tom, and I’ve been a humanist funeral celebrant for about nine years. It’s been both a privilege and personally fulfilling to engage with people in order to find the best way of celebrating individual lives in all their variety. Most of my professional life has been in adult education of different kinds, and thinking about learning across the full life course has led me to appreciate the challenges involved in different transitions. This includes death and dying, and what these mean for different people. I try to get a sense of what each individual has really meant to their family and friends, and how we should together design a ceremony to reflect this.

I live in North London, am married to Prue, and keep trying to improve my clarinet-playing.

HUMANIST CEREMONIES™ is the network of more than 550 celebrants, trained by national charity Humanists UK to a gold standard to provide memorable and meaningful humanist ceremonies to non-religious people. 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.
