Humanist funeral

[edit]

I have removed a recent addition to the effect that Jacobs's funeral was "humanist". As this fact, if fact it be, is not mentioned by Jacobs's biographer in Grove or his obituarists in The Times and The Independent I think it would be disproportionate and even a touch tendentious to include it here. What do colleagues think? Tim riley talk 20:08, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot access the article in the New Humanist, but in what ways was his funeral "humanist"? What evidence is there that Jacobs was active in any "humanist" movement? And is Secular humanism meant, or something else? Was that important to his life, or is this merely trivia (assuming that it is even true). -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:25, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
