Non-Religious Funerals and Memorial Services
Not everyone is aware that there are non-Religious funerals and Memorial Services options available. For some families a Humanist, non-religious funeral or memorial ceremony will be the perfect way to remember their loved one.
The person who has died may not have been religious so this could be what they would have wanted or requested. This type of ceremony is more a celebration of the life of your loved one. It still allows you to focus on the person who has died and allows friends and family to attend a service and share their memories. A non-religious service focuses on the life lived, the person and the friends they made on their journey through life. You will be free of many of the restrictions imposed by a religious service or the minister presiding over a religious service.
How to plan a funeral
Planning a funeral can be overwhelming and knowing who you need to contact can be very confusing. There can be so many things to arrange before a funeral can even take place which, if you have never experienced them, can be daunting. This simple guide covers the key elements to planning a funeral for your loved one. It should help to simplify the process and make things easier at a time of tremendous grief.
Pre-planning a funeral
Planning a funeral for a loved one is a difficult and often upsetting process. However, it can be made slightly more bearable if you and your loved one have pre-planned your funeral beforehand. You never know when you may fall ill or have an accident so it is best to be prepared.
Making things easier when you’re gone
You should always consider how to make things easier for your loved ones when you’re gone. Nobody wants to think about a time when they will no longer be alive, but unfortunately that day will come. If it’s been planned in advance the strain left on loved ones can be significantly reduced, easing the grieving process as much as possible.
