Up and down the country, progressive celebrants, undertakers, end of life doulas and death educators are coming together to tackle the image that most people have of funerals as something dark, solemn, sombre and formal. We’re showing the way forward, rather than staying stuck in the past. Just because things were always done a certain way, that doesn’t mean we cant change that, and we can’t get creative. The modern funeral is here.

As celebrants that’s really what we do - tell people’s stories. But you can’t tell the stories without the people! Humanism is all about people. Connecting with people. Learning from people. Having faith in people.
