Golden Charter in numbers

Former Changing Rooms presenter Carol Smillie has been training to become a humanist celebrant and recently began conducting humanist funerals.

A professionally organised funeral will pass without problems, the deceased looked after with dignity, their final wishes respected and friends and family left with a warm, lasting memory of their loved one. All the thought and work that has gone into arranging the ceremony, from the forms that were filled in to choosing hymns and flowers, should fade into the background and be replaced by the calm memory of a day well done.
