CELEBRANTS TRAINED AND ACCREDITED BY THE BRITISH HUMANIST ASSOCIATION
NAMINGS
Welcome a new baby or child into your family and friendship circle with
a humanist naming or welcoming ceremony. With a celebrant trained and
accredited by the BHA, you can choose the promises you want to make,
or the hopes you want to express for your child – as a parent,
grandparent or even a ‘guide-parent’.
Naming ceremonies can take place anywhere; they are most often held
in the home of a family member or close friend. They are wonderful occasions
involving and touching everyone connected with your child.
WEDDINGS
OR PARTNERSHIPS
Like many couples wanting to make a lifelong commitment to each other,
you may want to do so in your own way. You might want the special part
of the ceremony to be shared by more friends and family than a Register
Office can accommodate. You may prefer to hold your ceremony in a place
which is special to you. You might want people close to you to have
particular roles. You’ll probably want to choose readings and
music which mean something to you. Having a humanist wedding can make
celebrating your commitment very special. In England and Wales, couples
who choose to have a humanist wedding or partnership ceremony also need
to complete the legal formalities and obtain a civil marriage certificate
at a Register Office.
FUNERALS
A humanistic funeral is simply
more appropriate for those who did not accept religious views of life
or death. A humanist funeral or memorial ceremony recognises no god
or ‘after-life’, but instead uniquely and affectionately
celebrates the life of the person who has died. Proper tribute is paid
to them, to the life they lived, to the connections they made and to
the legacies they have left behind.
