A non-religious or Humanist Funeral with JJ Burgess
There is no legal requirement to have a religious funeral. As religion plays a less important role in peoples lives it is becoming common for people to opt for a non-religious humanist ceremony.
A humanist funeral enables family and friends to share the loss of a loved-one as well as celebrate their life and the impact they had on family and friends. This type of funeral is usually conducted by an officiant or celebrant and ...can involve readings of poetry, tributes from family, friends or the celebrant and the playing of music. There is also a time for reflection.
Funeral ceremonies have no legal status in themselves so you are free to hold one wherever you choose. That said, most humanist funerals are held at crematoria, cemeteries or woodland burial sites.

These thoughts and emotions are a part of the normal process of brief. However very few people understand what is normal after a loss. Some expect us to get over it relatively quickly. As they see us apparently being strong during the funeral, often they are surprise when, later on, we may not seem to be doing quite as well. They confuse shock with strenth. Because we have not learned what to expect after a loss, we are often caught unaware by the avalanche of emotions that may occur weeks or even months after the funeral.
Eco-friendly green funeral 🌸⚰️🌱 Green, or natural burial is a way of caring for the dead with minimal environmental impact that aids in the conservation of natural resources, reduction of carbon emissions, protection of worker health, and the restoration and/or preservation of habitat. Green burial necessitates the use of non-toxic and biodegradable materials, such as caskets, shrouds, and urns.
Eco-friendly green funerals include being buried in cardboard coffins or coffins ...made out of natural materials like willow. Natural burials are increasingly taking place in secluded woodlands, and some people are choosing to plant trees in place of a headstone.
A woodland burial provides a peaceful eco-friendly resting place for a loved one and it is often possible to have a tree planted on or near the grave. A woodland burial also removes the need for maintenance of the grave site. Those interested in arranging an eco-friendly green funeral often want to plan it in advance so we offer a free planning service.
