About
Simon first heard about non-religious ceremonies when reading an article in The Independent in 1990. He knew immediately that this was work he wanted to do and applied for training with the BHA (British Humanist Association). He took his first funeral in 1991 and was later involved in training other Officiants on behalf of the BHA.
He now lives in Watford and regards the West Herts Crematorium in Garston as his 'local'. He has, however, visited 30 different crematoria and 21 cemetries as well as taking many memorial ceremonies in different venues.
Now working as an independent, Simon helps families celebrate all our Rites of Passage such as baby namings and marriages. For those without any religious beliefs, Simon is often regarded as the family Officiant.
