Non-Religious Funerals

For a dignified service without the religious aspect, the team here at A. France & Son can help. We arrange respectful and characterful non-religious funerals and memorial services, including humanist funerals – or simply funerals without any element of spirituality. 

We help you celebrate the life of your loved one in a meaningful and memorable way with a tailored funeral ceremony that can include transport, coffins, content of service and non-religious officiant.

We take pride in providing a professional and caring service that is tailored to each and every family. Our quality and attention have been confirmed by our accreditation and membership to various industry organisations, including NAFD and the British Institute of Embalmers.

FAQs & Advice

Many funerals in the UK follow traditional religious practices with a typical service taking approx. 30-40 minutes. In some cases this may extend to over an hour. However there is also the option of a humanist or secular service which would include poetry, music and an appreciation of the life of your loved one. We are able to arrange a secular officiant for you if this is what you require.
