Spiritual Funerals & ceremonies

As Spiritualists, we maintain the belief that our loved ones remain with us in spirit. The passing of an individual does not diminish our love for them; rather, our connection endures despite the absence of their physical presence. We continue to honour the attachment to their spirit and cherish the unique moments defining their existence.

Love endures despite the passage of time. Individuals who have experienced the loss of a cherished loved one comprehend that their affection remains as profound as it was during the individual’s lifetime.

A Spiritualist funeral is a celebration of the deceased's life, allowing bereaved individuals to share memories, reflect, and express their grief. The service may feature either a burial or cremation and a Spiritualist celebrant is available to officiate at the scattering of ashes or during a memorial service. An eco-friendly funeral or natural burial may also be considered an appealing option for Spiritualists.

The celebrant emphasizes to mourners that the deceased body is a mortal vessel that has fulfilled its purpose, while the essence of the individual’s soul continues in a different realm. Spiritualist funerals incorporate many traditional elements, such as funeral flowers and music, yet they prioritize personalization. Mourners are encouraged to honour the deceased through tributes and to share significant readings or poems. For additional assistance in crafting a personal tribute, our guide to writing eulogies is available to offer support.

Not just Spiritualists but any individual can request a Spiritualist funeral. The funeral services offered by the Spiritualist celebrant are characterized by the absence of formal religious rituals and specific language, thus rendering them appropriate for individuals who either did not regularly attend a place of worship or who share similar beliefs.

In instances where a loved one expresses a desire for a Spiritualist funeral but is not actively engaged within the Spiritualist community, several options remain available. Numerous individuals throughout the United Kingdom identify as Spiritualists and are willing to conduct such funerals. It is essential to understand that these services are not exclusively provided by Spiritualists; rather, individuals with a belief in spirituality may also conduct these ceremonies.

Most professional funeral directors possess the capability to facilitate arrangements for a Spiritualist funeral and can effectively liaise with a spiritual celebrant to ensure that the service aligns with the family's wishes.
