Ceremonies

Baby Naming

If you want to welcome your new baby or young child into your family with a celebration Isle of Man Freethinkers can now provide baby naming ceremonies and give help to any parents who are planning such an event.

Weddings

Although it is necessary to register your civil marriage at a local registry office in Douglas, Peel, Castletown or Ramsey you can still enjoy a ceremony with friends and family elsewhere. We can help you write the words and choose the music and symbolic actions that you want for your special day.

Funerals

Non-religious funerals are becoming more common on the island. We can help you devise the ceremony you wish to have for your relative. We can suggest poems and music to help create exactly the style that you want.
