Civil Funerals
Sheffield Register Office offers a civil funeral service. A civil funeral ceremony is focused on celebrating the life of the deceased. It is both a dignified tribute and a highly personal memoir created by a professional celebrant in consultation with the family. A civil funeral can be held almost anywhere except in churches or religious buildings.
The ceremony will focus sincerely and tenderly on the person who has died and be sympathetic to the needs of the family in a way that is individual, dignified and appropriate. The celebrant will provide the necessary advice, support and guidance to assist with the difficult task of putting together a ceremony to say goodbye with and appreciation.
A civil funeral is defined as: “A funeral which is driven by the wishes, beliefs and values of the deceased and their family, not by the beliefs or principles of the person conducting the funeral”
If you would like more information or to discuss civil funerals with one of our accredited celebrants, contact our office on: 0780 2864178 / 0776 4661143
