“We just wanted to say thank you for all your help and support with Dad’s service and making it so special.   You came to us highly recommended and we can totally see why. From our very first meeting, it was like meeting a dear friend and we knew we were in the safest of hands. Your kindness and compassion were evident in the time and kind advice given; you listened to us, supported us and gently guided us throughout.   A credit to your profession, nothing was ever too much trouble and it was reassuring to have you there on our side.  Thank you for listening to us, accommodating our wishes and writing and delivering a service which was truly beautiful, bursting with love and affection and so befitting of Dad.  Thank you for all you did and making Dad’s service one of ‘love, laughter and a few tears’……just as he wanted.” - N

​

“Thank you so much for the beautiful eulogy and service you wrote for mum.  None of us had any experience in putting together a funeral and you guided us through with compassion and gentleness.  It was a lovely send-off for mum, and for that we will be forever thankful to you.” – P

 

“I have just read the draft and in a word it’s beautiful, you have captured mum to a T, thank you thank you.” – P

 

“I just wanted to say thank you for today.  Everyone thought the service was lovely, family and friends said how it summed dad up exactly. Some people learned things about dad that they didn’t know. We sat in the garden after in the sunshine, had drinks and buffet and reminisced over photo albums.  Perfect day x” – C

 

“I just wanted to thank you for being so lovely and understanding with the current situation. Your speediness and compassion has not gone unnoticed.” – J

“I'd like to repeat my gratitude for the way you undertook the task, the guidance you gave us and support you offered throughout. That the service was so good and passed so smoothly is down to you. It reflected W's personality so accurately. It is genuinely appreciated. A number of people made kind remarks to me about you at the reception.” - D

​

“We just wanted to say thank you for everything you did for us regarding Mum's funeral.

Many people commented what a lovely service it was and I'm sure Mum would've been very happy with it all.” - C and D.

 

“I would like to say how very grateful D, N and myself are to you for doing M proud on such a sorrowful occasion. It was not just the words that you put together but the sympathetic way it was presented. I have had so many of those present saying how well it was done and appreciated  the story of M as it was told. Many thanks again Vicki. If asked I shall highly recommend you.” – V

​

“Just wanted to thank you for Friday. It all went perfectly and everyone has commented on how amazing you were. My dad was hesitant about us using a celebrant with you doing a lot of the readings as he said it isn’t always very personal - but he was blown away with how perfect the service went. He said you spoke clearly and it was like you were a part of the family. So pleased you did the service - but particularly for B. I was obviously very invested in getting everything right for her & it’s not something that is always done very well - but you were truly amazing. Thank you." - L

 

“I just wanted to send a brief message to say thank you for my mum’s service yesterday. It was a hard day for us all, however I think you did a great job and the tribute gave a perfect balance of the positive aspects of my mum’s life but also the more difficult ones too.  Many people who attended said afterwards how lovely the service was. Thanks again.” - C 

​

“Thankyou for making the service so special yesterday. I can't tell you the amount of people that said "it was the best and hardest service they've ever attended". That is in no small part down to you and your work on the service especially accommodating all the late changes and making it run so seamlessly. You Helped give Dad and B the service they deserve and one that will certainly be remembered which is what Dad wanted, so thankyou again from the bottom of my heart.” - R

​

“Thank you very, very much for speaking at M’s service. Everyone I spoke to complemented you on the way that you spoke and shared our memories of M. I still miss him dreadfully, but am really proud of the send-off we gave him.” - S

​

“Just a quick note to thank you so much for the beautiful way you conducted the service for I yesterday.  You were gentle and encouraging and struck exactly the right chord for him.  This is an amazing skill when you haven't met the person you so carefully wrote about.  We also appreciate the guidance you gave us before the ceremony and the sensitive way you worked with M, J and myself. Many many thanks.” – J

​

“Thank you so much for the service today and for your attention to detail. Everyone I spoke to was complimentary and said how Mum would have appreciated it, and it was great to feel so comfortable with your efficiency and kindness. I would definitely recommend your services to friends and colleagues” - S

​

“Just wanted to let you know how well received today’s service was. So many people came up to me to say how it covered so much of his life and was brilliantly written. Thank you for all your hard work, it is greatly appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for the day to have gone any better!” – J

 

“I would just like to say on behalf of C’s family and friends how grateful we are that you carried out the celebrant role for her service. In my view you struck just the right note and calmed everyone with your caring manner and delivery. Many others have also echoed these sentiments. In a sense I hope our paths don't cross again in the near future but I can say without hesitation that when needed, I will call upon your services again.” – C

​

“I wanted to say thank you to you for yesterday. It was exactly how it should have been for dad. Whilst I wasn't ready for this experience to be happening now and it has been devastating for me, you certainly did the service justice and I think you "got it", also how Dad would have wanted it. I can only thank you for making the hardest day something that was more bearable in a way. I liked that you read the words with appropriate humour, consistently and seamless. I liked that you put effort into the timings for the music and made it work well with the time you had. Also that you accommodated all of my suggestions and changed it as we went. The flexibility was appreciated.  It was conveyed how much Dad was loved by his family and meant to those around him. Which was my aim as he was an integral part of my life and my family and will be a huge loss. Thank you for understanding this and being able to put this into words. Thank you very much” - L
