It is often assumed that a non-religious funeral is by definition a humanist funeral but that is not necessarily the case. Humanist celebrants and independent funeral celebrants both believe in life-centred funerals, however humanist celebrants won’t include any mention of religion. I am very comfortable including hymns, prayers, & scripture readingsin a service.
Moreover, humanists do not believe in any kind of afterlife: they firmly believe death is the end. I do have a personal faith and belief that death is not the end.
As a funeral celebrant I will incorporate as much or as little religious content or spirituality as is desired in order to honour the individual beliefs of the deceased and those of their family.
