Ceremonies

The BHA is perhaps most visible in its humanist ceremonies. It has a national network of men and women who are trained and accredited to conduct humanist funerals, naming ceremonies, and wedding and affirmation ceremonies. These are available to anyone wishing a non-religious ceremony and each is individually and sensitively written and may contain poetry, prose and music, as required.

BHA officiants and celebrants are deeply committed to their work and are subject to a code of conduct laid down by the BHA. We are lucky to have two celebrants serving this area: Pam Burn and David Brittain.

Pam completed her training at the BHA following early retirement from the Royal College of Physicians where she was Chief Executive. She is a third generation humanist and says she obtains deep personal satisfaction from being able to work with people at critical times in their lives.

David has worked as a manager in various Government Departments – finally as Education Officer for the Ministry of Defence. A humanist all his adult life, although he only joined the BHA in October 2005. David is a founder member of the North Herts and Beds Humanists, and regards his celebrant role as quite simply the most rewarding thing he has ever done.
