Feedback from families

 

“Dan captured the essence of a man much loved and sorely missed by many, but none more than Malcolm’s partner, their daughter and sons. He delivered the service with a depth of compassion not shown at any other funeral that I have attended. It was both beautiful and heart-breaking at the same time. Thank you!”

“I was looking for a local humanist funeral celebrant for interment of my son Gordon’s ashes and am so glad that I found Dan. We worked hand in hand to prepare a service with reflection music that perfectly celebrated Gordon’s life and his passing. Dan’s delivery was both professional and compassionate in equal measure. So much so that family and friends commented afterwards on how pleased they were. We highly recommend Dan for such occasions.”

“As this was the first funeral I have ever had to experience, and with it being my Dad’s, this was the most difficult situation I could have to deal with. Dan was able to make this experience a lot easier for me and my mum. I am very grateful that he was there to help us during this time.”

“Thank you for the service you performed for Dad’s funeral on Wednesday. Everyone agreed that it was pitch-perfect, captured his life brilliantly, and was exactly what he himself would have wanted.

M.. and I were a little apprehensive about getting on that call with you and having to try to come up with memories that could sum up the life of someone we have known and loved our whole lives. But not only did you make the process easy for us, you made it enjoyable too. In fact we both agreed it was cathartic in a way, picking through happy memories. Mum felt the same.

I imagine it cannot be easy to write a half-hour service about anybody, but especially someone you have never met. And yet you did such a wonderful job of combining our memories into a beautiful narrative of his life, and then delivering it in a heartfelt way. Everyone said afterwards what a warm and personal funeral it was – it was as if you knew him. You have a real gift.

Thank you again for making a difficult day something that we will always remember fondly.”

We have had so many lovely comments from our family and friends saying how wonderful the service and funeral script was…a big thank you again from us all.”
