What is a Civil Funeral?

A Civil Funeral is a dignified and personal way of remembering and celebrating the life of a loved one when they pass away.

The Registrar will design a ceremony with a family making it personal and unique to the individual reflecting their life, their personality, their achievements and talk about important people in their life and in a dignified and non religious way.

Ceremonies can include readings, music and poems and prayers and although are non religious in nature can include readings with religious content and the Lords Prayer can also be used during the ceremony.

Where would it be?

The Registrar will perform the ceremony at a crematorium or place of burial chosen by the family and may be in or outside of Darlington.
