My name is Alan and I am a retired Police Officer.Humanist funerals are a celebration of life, and I create personal funeral services to remember the special moments in the life of your loved one just the way that you want it.Creating the funeral serviceAs a non-religious celebration of life, your loved one’s funeral or memorial service can be made up of any words, songs and poems or readings you choose. And it can take place in a crematorium, a natural burial ground, one of the many local cemeteries or anywhere else you choose.If you have an idea of what you would like included in the service, I will design the ceremony around this or, I am happy to make suggestions to suit your family and your loved one.Here is an example outline for a service which would last around 20-30 minutes, which is the time allocated for services by most crematoria:Welcome and introductory words about your loved oneThoughts on life and death and remembering the person who has diedPoem or reading by a family member or friendTribute to your loved one describing their life, character and passionsQuiet reflection for personal goodbyes accompanied by musicPoem or reading by a family member or friendSaying your final farewell with the CommittalClosing words
