Civil & Humanist Funerals
Humanist funerals are unique, non-religious ceremonies which are tailored to the wishes of the deceased and those remembering them. When arranging a humanist funeral, Meyler & Son Funeral Directors always attempt to create the perfect balance between mourning the loss of a loved one with a celebration of the life that was lived.
Generally, humanist funerals feature thoughtful reflections from family and friends, interspersed with music and appropriate well-chosen words from the celebrant.

We consult closely with the loved ones of the deceased, listening to all requests and outlining all relevant information to ensure a fitting service is delivered.
