When I lost my dear friend Melanie and found myself arranging her funeral, I was in a state of shock and panic. With skill and sensitivity Carrie supported me. She listened and, somehow without my noticing, gently teased out pertinent information and managed to capture an accurate picture of my friend. She pulled all this together to create the perfect eulogy, which she read at the funeral beautifully.

Carrie exceeded all expectations, everyone attending the ceremony gave wonderful feedback, we all felt like she had known my mother and told her complex life story with passion and clarity.

Carrie could not have done more for our family in the preparation and delivery of my Auntie’s funeral. She took the time to get to know her by corresponding with those who loved my auntie regularly and at length. She was incredibly generous with her time, offering words of comfort to our family. She also made sure that the service was exactly what my Auntie would have wanted. Carrie was without doubt the best celebrant we could have asked for, and we’re so grateful to her for her time and efforts at a very difficult time. Wonderful, wonderful lady. Thank you.

Carrie was very attentive in the run-up to the event. We had a very tight schedule and Carrie pulled out the stops to help us and come up with a lovely ceremony. We received great feedback from the attendees.

Carrie was amazing. She was professional, kind and friendly throughout the entire process. I don’t know what I would have done without her. I cannot thank her enough.

I found the process of putting together my dad’s story with Carrie, my brother and sisters, very helpful and comforting.

It was a lovely service all about Rob and his life, perfect send off.

Carrie brought so much more to the process of telling my dad’s story than I had ever expected. She approached it with compassion and took the time to truly understand who my dad was. And told his story in the most wonderful, truthful way. I will be forever thankful for that.

Losing my partner has been the most traumatic experience I have had to face. At such a difficult time you need someone to support and guide you through the process of creating a beautiful and meaningful service. Carrie’s experience was evident from our initial conversation and throughout all our conversations, which culminated in the most wonderful service being created for a very special person. I am eternally grateful.

I felt Carrie went above and beyond in giving support, help and advice.

Carrie led the ceremony tremendously well and navigated us through the process of developing the content and shape of the ceremony. We were completely happy with everything Carrie did for us at a difficult time, for which we are all very grateful. Carrie helped us choose music, gave us a clear outline of what we needed to think about and decide, as well as contacting the people who were speaking at the service to help them as well. She was instrumental in putting together a service my aunt would have been proud of.

Carrie was professional and empathetic throughout. She was patient and didn’t mind our many corrections to get our Great Nana’s eulogy perfect and planned every detail. She took time to learn and get everyone’s names and pronunciation right.

Carrie was sensitive, compassionate and guided us with care, we felt great relief to work with someone committed to making a ceremony that worked for us and where we were at that point in time. Most importantly I felt listened to and was grateful for the holding of the space to process a huge grief.

Carrie made an enormous effort to build the fullest picture of my mum in her head to construct a bespoke ceremony that 100% encapsulated who she was. Her tone and presentation throughout was perfect. It was exactly what mum detailed as regards what she wanted and there was so much care and attention that went into the whole thing. I can’t picture having anything any different going forward for myself or any of my family. Thank you so much!

We were delighted with her attention to detail and care throughout.
