If I become a Secular Humanist, can I still get married or have a funeral?

I'm not asking if I can still legally do those things, I'm asking whether or not it goes against Secular Humanist beliefs.

Um.... of course you can. What exactly would prevent you from doing so?

Yes, you can have a secular wedding and funeral and no it doesn't go against humanist values. Here is an entire directory of helpful websites on the topic.

hmmm... why not?
Edited to add: I've never heard a secular humanist say anything other than their personal opinion on marriage and funerals.
We don't have dogma.

Which country do you live in? In Saudi Arabia no, almost anywhere else on the planet yes.

Both of those things predate religion.

Of course. Why would you think you couldn't?
