Civil and Humanist Funerals

Some families prefer to have a non-religious or civil funeral both of which we have extensive experience in arranging.

A non-religious service is without any religious content and is designed by the family with the assistance of a civil celebrant or Humanist celebrant. The service will usually consist of music, eulogies, poems and words or remembrance.

A civil service can combine religious content with the family’s own choices of music, speeches, poems and words of remembrance.

In all cases we will arrange for a suitable celebrant who can facilitate, guide and assist with the ceremony. We can also advise on suitable locations.

Non-religious ceremonies and civil funerals can be held in a location of your choice, with or without the assistance of a civil celebrant. At Feehily’s we offer families the use of our funeral home in which they can celebrate the life of a loved one however they wish.

We will work with you to:

• Find and arrange the best place for you to hold the ceremony.
• Help you decide on the removal.
• Help you decide how you would like the venue to look.
• If a celebrant is needed, we can help in recommending one.
• Help you decide on the content of the ceremony.
