[H3] Most Asked Questions

What is a Humanist Funeral?
A humanist funeral is a non-religious ceremony that celebrates the life of the deceased without reference to any deity or afterlife. It focuses on the individual’s life, achievements, and the memories they leave behind, often led by a celebrant who tailors the service to reflect the beliefs and values of the deceased.

Can children participate in a Humanist Funeral?
Yes, children can participate in a humanist funeral. These ceremonies are typically inclusive and flexible, allowing family members, including children, to be involved in ways that are meaningful to them. Children can contribute by reading a favorite poem, sharing a memory, or even by playing a piece of music, making the service more personal and reflective of the deceased’s life and relationships.

What happens after the ceremony?
After a humanist funeral ceremony, several events may take place, depending on the family’s preferences and the arrangements made:Committal: This part of the ceremony involves either the burial or cremation of the body. For burials, this might occur at the graveside where final goodbyes are said. In the case of cremation, the coffin is typically taken to a crematorium.Gathering or Reception: Many families opt to hold a gathering or reception after the funeral. This allows friends, family, and attendees to come together for support, share memories of the deceased, and often celebrate their life. The gathering can be as formal or informal as desired, with refreshments and sometimes continued sharing of stories and memories.Memorial Activities: Some families might engage in personal or public memorial activities such as releasing balloons, planting a tree, or other acts that symbolise remembrance and the continuation of life.Handling of Ashes: If the deceased was cremated, the family will decide what to do with the ashes. They might be scattered in a meaningful location, buried, or kept in an urn.

Where can I find the best humanist celebrants in Ireland?
We can assist you in finding the perfect humanist celebrant for your needs. Alternatively, you can also explore options directly through the Humanist Association of Ireland, which offers a comprehensive list of accredited celebrants across the country.  Visit their website here.

What options are available for storing the ashes?
There are several options for storing ashes after cremation, which include:Urn: Ashes can be placed in a decorative urn that serves as a memorial item to keep at home or in a columbarium.Scattering: Ashes can be scattered in a meaningful location, such as a garden, forest, or over water, according to the deceased’s wishes or family preference.Burial: Ashes can be buried in a family plot, urn garden, or special section of a cemetery designed for urns.Keepsakes: Some of the ashes can be kept in smaller keepsake urns or transformed into memorial objects such as jewelry or art.Columbarium: A niche in a columbarium can be used to house the urn for a permanent memorial accessible to family and friends.These options allow families to choose a memorialisation that best honours your loved one and fits your personal or spiritual needs.

Can we scatter the ashes in a meaningful location?
