What Is a Humanist Service?

English Funeral Chapels • July 25, 2022

If you are planning a funeral service for a loved one, consider having a humanist service. English Funeral Chapels can tell you more about this kind of option.

When getting ready to make arrangements for a loved one who died, one option you want to consider is having a humanist service. A humanist service can be the perfect choice for lots of families, so be sure to consider that option. If you have never heard of this kind of service before or if you want to know more about them, here are the things that providers of cremation services in Post Falls, ID want you to remember. 


One of the things that you want to keep in mind is that a humanist service is one that is not religious. If your loved one was someone who did not have a particular faith or who would not have wanted any beliefs they had mentioned at the service, a humanist service can be the right option. You can still have the structure of a traditional service, with music and readings, but just make sure there is no mention of religion. 


A humanist service can take place in any location. You want to avoid a place of worship, but you may want to think about locations other than a funeral home. If your loved one enjoyed being outdoors, choose to have the service outside. You can also choose to have it at home or even in a hotel. Think about the options that your loved one would have wanted and go with that. If you are not sure, you can always get suggestions from the funeral director. 


Another thing to remember is that the celebrant will give the tribute at the service. The tribute is similar to a eulogy, showcasing your loved one and what they meant to their family. The celebrant will meet with you to learn about what to include in the tribute. This is one of the most important parts of a humanist service


Choosing the right celebrant is also vital. They will lead the entire service so you want to be sure that they have experience and that they can undertake this kind of task. Be sure to meet with them to explain what your wishes are and what you would prefer for the service. If you do not know how to choose the right celebrant, ask a funeral director for help. 


These are some crucial things you want to remember when getting ready to decide on whether a humanist service is the right choice for your loved one. It can allow you to offer them the kind of options that they would have wanted, including having a service without religion.
