Institute of Civil Funerals (IoCF)

Whilst the majority of people in the UK still choose either a 'traditional' religious funeral service or a 'Humanist' non-religious funeral service, an increasing number are finding that their personal preferences are easily accommodated within a Civil Funeral Ceremony and therefore a more appropriate choice for them to make.

What is a Civil Funeral?

A Civil Funeral is defined as:

A funeral which is driven by the wishes, beliefs and values of the deceased and their family, and not by the beliefs or ideology of the person conducting the funeral

A Civil Funeral Ceremony can therefore provide an opportunity for you and your staff to create, with the help and support of a professional Civil Funeral Celebrant, the most appropriate and meaningful Ceremony for this final act of love and respect.

 QUALITY ASSURANCE
