Non-religious Funerals
Many families today choose to hold non religious funerals that focus on celebrating a loved one’s life in a personal and meaningful way. We have extensive experience in supporting these services, and will work closely with you to ensure everything reflects the wishes of your family and the character of the person being remembered.
Non religious funerals can take place at a crematorium, cemetery, private venue or at home. They often include music, readings, poems, tributes and a moment of quiet reflection. These services are typically led by a civil celebrant, a humanist, or a family member or friend – someone who can help tell the story of your loved one’s life in a way that feels authentic and heartfelt.

We can also assist with other personal touches and would be really happy to help families remember their loved one in whichever way they wish – whatever feels right to you and your family, we will do our very best to make it happen.
On the day of the funeral, we will accompany your loved one with professionalism and care, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
There’s plenty of little touches that we can offer as well, for example – we have a wide selection of ties in various colours, allowing our team to wear something that reflects your loved one’s personality, favourite colour, or a chosen theme. Our exclusive fleet of Jaguar and Bentley vehicles is available to complement the day with dignity and style.
