    hello there , i rarely ever post in this forum but thier is something i would appreciate some advice on if anyone can help me

    im not an athiest as such , more like an agnostic in so far as i have no clue either way what happens when one dies , i have however no interest in being saved or going to god as they say in christian parlance

    anyway , is thier a place where people can have a secular funeral in this country , non religous short ceremony followed by cremation , i aint planning on riding the midnight train to slab city for a while yet :) but i think its no harm in educating oneself on this subject , seeing as its quite an unusual ambition

    I am not sure either but it might be worth contacting HAI here:

    http://www.humanism.ie/

    As they conduct quite a number of Humanist services which may be what you are looking for. I am not sure what they do and do not offer, but I would be unsurprised if funerals were among the package. I know they do weddings.

    Actually I just checked the link and they have this:

    Neither do the atheists. :) Or the Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus or Gamblorians for that matter.....



    Although, at least most of us are willing to admit it.
