A Humanist Funeral Service offers an alternative ceremony for those who do not wish to use traditional religious forms. It provides mediations and eloquent passages of prose and poetry to express appreciation, grief, and farewell when a friend or loved one dies. One may choose according to individual preference, the text and music he feels to be most appropriate.
The service is dignified and reminiscent of past relationships with the deceased, stressing love, the beauty of life, man's kinship with nature, and the naturalness of death.
