Can I Arrange a Non-Religious or Celebrant-Led Funeral?

Non-religious funerals are guided by trained celebrants who create personalised ceremonies that can include readings, music, and reflections chosen by the family. Families are encouraged to participate in the service, and memorials can be led by family members or friends. This approach provides flexibility while ensuring the ceremony remains professional, respectful, and compassionate.

A direct cremation is a simple, low-cost option:

  • Collection from hospital or mortuary
  • Coffin suitable for cremation
  • Cremation at local Hove crematorium
  • Ashes returned or arranged for scattering

It allows families to hold memorials or celebrations of life later.

Our funeral directors guide you to choose the right option for budget and preference.

How Are Funeral Costs Calculated?

Funeral pricing is transparent and covers professional fees, collection and transport of the deceased, and crematorium or burial costs.
