Funerals in Scotland

PERSONAL FUNERALS AND MEMORIALS 

Many families would choose the option of a personal and fully flexible funeral for their loved one if they knew they had the option. I regularly have people approach me immediately after a funeral ceremony expressing pleasure and surprise that the ceremony was so personal, so inclusive, and a real thanksgiving and celebration all about the person.

It's no longer the case that you can choose only between a religious ceremony or a humanist ceremony - we can hold a ceremony which is neither or both, if that's not a contradition!

The term humanist seems to be have become synonymous with being personal, which is only part of the story, and one which some people misinterpret if they themselves do not belong a humanist group and live life according to humanist ethics.  

Whether you choose to have a ceremony that is still quite traditional in its format and some of its content ie containing prayers and hymns, or whether you would like to explore the possibility of having something which is quite alternative and different, I'm here to help you find the best way of giving your loved one a fitting final send off.
