Testimonials
“I just wanted to thank you for leading yesterday’s service for our mother. We all thought you did a brilliant job, and that the service was a lovely way to say goodbye to her.” October 2009
“Many thanks for all your help and guidance in planning the celebration of Dad’s life. We appreciate all that you managed to convey about Dad without knowing him in person. Many people thought it was a wonderful celebration and we had many compliments in the way you led the service.” Kindest regards October 2009
“I had originally thought that if anyone sobbed then somehow we had failed but I now know I was completely wrong on that account. Both my daughters shed tears yet they thought it was wonderful – it was Nanny brought to life again for a brief moment. A relative, who had never experienced this type of service before, came up to me after and said, “I know this sounds weird but that was the best funeral I have ever been to.” So, thank you for all you did and keep up the good work. ” Kind regards September 2009
