People might use their will to express their wish to have a secular or humanist funeral, but a will in Malta is read long after they are buried. We therefore urge anyone who wants a non-religious funeral to make their views known. Some may choose to do this via a \u2018Living Will\u2019 (or \u2018Advance Decision\u2019); read more here<\/a>, or a letter to their loved ones. Making their beliefs clear well in advance means that those close to them are not faced with difficult choices while mourning their loss – even though their next of kin can, if they choose, override these wishes.
For those who want a non-religious ceremony for loved-ones, Humanists Malta offers the services of its certified humanist celebrants, who create bespoke personalised ceremonies. You need not be a member of Humanists Malta to avail yourself of the service. Read more here<\/a>.
Usually, Humanist burial ceremonies are carried out graveside but special permission may be sought from the health authorities for other locations of choice. Alternatively, a Humanist memorial service (where the body of the deceased is not present) may be carried out at any location, and this doesn\u2019t require the permission of the health authorities.<\/p>\nGive Today or Become a Member<\/h2>\n
