Have you heard of Ed Finch? You may know him from BrewEd or as a Primary Head Teacher? Well, he now is training to become a Humanist Celebrant. Following the death of his wife, he was introduced to the wonderful concept of a humanist funeral. Ed tells us all about the training he is recieving to be able to support others through grief in the way he was.
You would think that this would make this conversation depressing and heavy, but it is anything but. It is beautiful and joyful, as is Ed!
We discuss what a humanist funeral is, what happens at them and why there is a need for them. But also we consider beliefs about life after death and the wonderful phrase 'a taste of the sacred'.
