A humanistic service would be a

• A. religious ceremony
• B. spiritual counseling
• C. funeral procession
• D. secular ceremony

Answer: (D)

A humanistic service is a secular ceremony that centers on the person’s life, memories, and values rather than religious beliefs or rituals. It’s typically guided by a humanist celebrant and may include personal stories, readings, music, and tributes chosen by the family. Because it avoids prayers, religious rites, or clergy-led rituals, it stands apart from religious ceremonies. A funeral procession is a logistical part of the event, not the type of service itself, and spiritual counseling is a support service rather than the ceremony. So, the humanistic approach aligns with a secular ceremony.
