Humanist Ceremonies Humanist Ceremonies celebrants conduct unique, meaningful, non-religious funerals, weddings, vow Doing so fulfils a very human need.

Rites of passage such as birth, marriage and death have been marked over many centuries and across diverse cultures. Humanist Ceremonies offer those of us who are not religious a way of marking such major changes in our lives in a way that is meaningful and sincere. We believe it’s important that we mark such occasions with honesty, warmth and affection, using words and music that are appropriate to the lives, values and personalities of those concerned. Our network of around 450 celebrants have been trained and accredited to ensure they write and conduct beautiful, unique, appropriate ceremonies. Each of our ceremonies is individual, created specifically those involved. Inclusive occasions, they are focused on universal values and a concern for humanity rather than religious belief or superstition. There are no rules about what can or can’t be included within your ceremony. Our celebrants will work with you to plan and create an occasion that best meets your needs.

A micro wedding can still have BIG scenery. It could be just what you're looking for. With fewer guests, you can focus on your partner, your closest people, and the moments that matter most to you, and choose a setting that wouldn't work for a larger crowd.

Find out how to plan an inspiring, stress-free micro wedding with a Humanist Ceremonies celebrant. Link in comments.

Shakespeare knew that grief has to be said out loud, and saying it out loud is what National Grief Awareness Day is for. All day today, we've been sharing extracts from the Little Book of Humanist Funerals.

National Grief Awareness Day was started to overcome the sense of taboo, shame, or rushing that grieving people might experience.

As humanists, we don’t assume that an afterlife exists. We believe that this is the one life we have, and it is up to us to make it meaningful.

Grief is an important thing for us to talk about because it is part of being human. When we lose someone we love, there is no need to find a reason for our grief or to rush through it.

We may not believe that those who have died live on somewhere beyond this life, but their lives continue to matter. They live on in the memories we carry, the stories we tell, the things they taught us and the ways they changed the people around them.

There is no single way to grieve, and no timetable for when grief should end. Sometimes the most human thing we can do is simply acknowledge the loss, make space for the pain and be there for one another.
