Testimonials

January 2024 – On behalf of the entire family I wanted to say a huge thank you for today. It was such a beautiful service and I’m so proud of how it turned out. So many people said to us they thought it was the best funeral they had ever been to, and much of that comes down to the preparation and guidance you shared with us.
December 2023 – Thank you for your email and thank you for Friday, the service was lovely lots of people who attended said you spoke like you knew mum which was really nice.
November 2023 – I would like to thank you wholeheartedly on behalf of us all for leading the service for our mum on Wednesday; naturally incredibly difficult, it was a lovely and very fitting service to honour and celebrate her. Your kind words brought comfort and you guided us through the whole process beautifully and we really appreciate everything.
October 2023 – It was a beautiful service commented on by so many people. You brought it all together just perfectly.
September 2023 – Thank you for your role in the service on Monday. You did a lovely job, hugely appreciated. It was an emotional day, but not without some opportunities for laughter.
August 2023 – I just wanted to put into words, how very grateful I am to you for officiating my sister’s funeral. Thanks, in part to your wonderfully crafted celebration of her life, I am now able to remember my sister as the whole person she was and not just the sad sick person she had become at the end of her life.
Hearing you speak about her life, her hobbies, her holidays and mostly her friends family helped me to tap into those core memories, when life was joyful and fun and we shared all our life experiences (good, bad and ugly!). As I explained, she was such an integral part of my life and, having lost both my parents by the age of 26, was more of a maternal figure to me.
Last year, when we experienced the tragedy of losing our son, my sister would have been my “go to” person and, I know, she would have fallen to her knees and wept with me.
I had gotten so caught up in the sadness of her journey with dementia, I had been unable to properly remember my sister of old. You really have a special gift for bringing those recollections to the fore and for that I want to thank you most sincerely. We will all miss her for the rest of our lives but not the Jenny we had been caring for and nursing – the one with personality, humour and a special spark for life.
You are a very special lady and I am so grateful for the gift of memories that you have given to our family.
July 2023 – Corinne planned the service to perfection. Corinne took the time to work with the family and to get to know my mum (departed) via the family. Corinne was brilliant with helping my sister and my mums partner in contributing their words and feelings during the service at a very difficult time. The whole family wish to thank Corinne for making what could have been a very sad day uplifting and beautiful.
July 2023 – My Aunt was an extremely private lady, and there was not a great deal of information available, Corinne gave such a wonderful frank and honest account of her life.
July 2023 – Corinne Jordan-Gough did such a beautiful service and made us feel very comfortable with the reading she had put together . Such a lovely lady I wouldn’t have changed a thing about the service Corinne provided.
June 2023 – Corinne conducted the ceremony for my son last year and I was very pleased with how it was personalised acne delivered in a way that made it seem like she had actually known him. Following the sad passing of my sister, after a long period of dementia, I recommended her to my brother in law as the best person to lead my sister’s funeral yesterday. Corinne is one of the best listeners I have met. She coaxes out information and stories you’ve forgotten about a loved one and manages to use these to capture the essence of the departed. On both occasions, attendees commented on her depth of knowledge and calmness throughout the service and it was wonderful to have her help us to say goodbye!
June 2023 – Corinne caught exactly the right tone in leading our celebration. In the preparation phase she gently guided us through our first drafts to the final service, and we ended up with the perfect balance. Such was her focus on us, that we felt very much that we were the only people she was concerned with right now.
June 2023 – Very professional friendly spoke like she knew the family and like a family friend.

We were very pleased with all that she did for us

Jan 2023 – Excellent Service.. People that attended the funeral said that the service and tribute was lovely and very unusual. A religious ceremony would have been inappropriate for our family and it was more personalised for the deceased.
