Personal, Meaningful & Non-Religious
Civil Ceremonies That Honour a Unique Life
A civil ceremony is a service conducted around the wishes of the deceased and their family rather than a traditional religious funeral.
We are delighted that a member of our team, Geraldine Bane, is a qualified Funeral Celebrant, having completed her training with the IIOC (Irish Institute of Celebrants). It enables us to offer the bereaved an opportunity to work with Geraldine and create a funeral service for their loved one that reflects the essence and enduring spirit of the deceased. The ceremony can be conducted at one of Dignity Funeral Care’s funeral homes, at the crematorium, or at another suitable venue.
With the family’s help, we can help write a tribute to the deceased, telling his/her “life story” and relating experiences and qualities to capture the essence and enduring spirit of the deceased. When all this is in place, we will then conduct the ceremony at our funeral home, a crematorium or other suitable venue chosen by the family, which will be followed by burial or cremation.
After the ceremony, a copy of the tribute is given to the family to keep.
