Funeral Ceremony Feedback

We are always deeply grateful when families take the time to share their reflections after a funeral ceremony, especially at such a tender and emotional time.

Following a recent service led by Alan Deeney- that celebrant guy, the family shared how supported and comforted they felt throughout. Alan's compassionate approach and attentive listening helped create a ceremony that honoured their loved one’s life with dignity, care, and respect.

Funeral ceremonies are never easy, but when they are held with kindness and understanding, they can offer a meaningful space for farewell, reflection, and peace. Alan guided the family with warmth and reassurance every step of the way.

Thank you, Alan, for the care you bring to families when they need it most.

Is anyone else feeling a little sad that summer has disappeared?

The darker evenings have arrived, there's a definite chill in the air, and I'm reluctantly accepting that it's time to dig out the bigger jacket!

But I've been thinking... perhaps instead of mourning the loss of summer, we should embrace what the next season has to offer.

Cosy evenings, family board games, autumn walks, coffee and a blether with friends, and making memories before the madness of the festivities begins.

In our latest blog, Morag reflects on the changing seasons, the Humanist values that encourage us to appreciate the life we're living, and why there's plenty of joy to be found even when the sunshine disappears.

And, of course, a little Scottish humour to finish!

Because life's too short to spend half of it waiting for summer.

As summer fades, discover a Humanist celebrant's reflections on autumn, embracing change, making memories and finding joy in life's changing seasons.

What an incredible final total!

We were so proud to be among the 1,100 people who rolled out their mats for Yellow Yogis, and delighted that Team Fuze contributed £481 towards the amazing £240,000 raised.

A very special day supporting our charity partner, Beatson Cancer Charity, and the patients and families they care for across the west of Scotland.

Welcome to October!

A new month brings fresh opportunities to show kindness, strengthen connections and give a little back.

October includes several awareness days and campaigns marked across the UK:

💛 International Day of Older Persons - today, 1st October
💛 Hospice Care Week - 5th to 11th October
💛 Baby Loss Awareness Week - 9the to 15th October
💛 World Mental Health Day - 10th October
💛 Wave of Light - 15th October at 7pm

Each invites us to pause, learn, remember and care for one another.

At The Fuze Foundation, our Humanist beliefs inspire us to live with compassion, treat people equally and make a positive difference wherever we can. We believe we all have something to give.

Giving back can be as simple as checking in on a neighbour, listening without judgement, volunteering a little time or learning from someone whose experiences are different from our own. Small gestures can mean so much.

As we welcome October, what’s one act of kindness you could make time for? Share your ideas below, you might inspire someone else.

Faces of the Foundation: Meet Lucy Haden

Nearly 200 ceremonies, five years with The Fuze Foundation and a whole lot of happy memories! Lucy's own wedding inspired her to become a celebrant, and she’s been helping couples celebrate their stories ever since.

At home in Biggar, life is just as colourful. There’s Lizzie Longlegs, her rescue greyhound, a campervan Lucy converted herself, a growing collection of pottery and a conservatory that has even hosted two weddings!

But at the heart of it all is something we can all relate to: human connection.

As Lucy puts it: “Nurture it, create it, love it – whether it’s your own family, friends, or couples making their own way in life.”

Find Lucy’s full Faces of the Foundation feature in the blog section of the Fuze Ceremonies website.

Please join us in giving Lucy a little love in the comments!

Another £3,481 given back to our charity partners!

We were delighted to meet with Suzie from Alzheimer Scotland and Heather and Heilidh from Beatson Cancer Charity to present each charity with £1,500 from The Fuze Foundation. Celebrants Marie and Kerry joined us to help hand over the cheques and celebrate a busy summer of giving.

Alongside these donations, Team Fuze raised a further £481 for Beatson through Yellow Yogis!

Our total give back has now reached £136,509, made possible by our wonderful celebrants, couples, families and supporters.

Behind every donation are people who need care, reassurance and someone in their corner. We’re proud to support these two charities and the difference they make across Scotland.

Read our latest blog on our website to find out more about the cheque presentation, developments at Alzheimer Scotland and what donations can help provide at Beatson Cancer Charity.

Thank you for helping us make a difference. 💛
