As Humanists with no religious belief it’s important that we can mark these occasions with honesty, warmth and affection, using words and music that are personal and appropriate to the lives and the people involved.
Each of the ceremonies is unique, created specially for the people involved. The focus is the occasion and the person or people being celebrated or commemorated. There are no special rules or strict observances beyond basic legal requirements. The ceremonies are planned in close consultation to make sure it’s exactly what people and their families want.
| Farnham Humanist members Alec Leggatt and Barbara Burfoot are local Humanist Officants and can be contacted for further information including about local ceremonies. | |||
