Some Funeral and Memorial ceremony feedback received over the past few years:

“Thank you Jane for the wonderful way in which you conducted Margaret’s service. You have a unique way of dealing with grief. Everyone present was full of praise for you. You made the most unbearable day of my life pass without too much pain – that was quite an achievement.” Margaret’s Funeral 

“At the wake afterwards, everyone said how much they welcomed the change from a conventional religious service. We all very much appreciated the sensitive, dignified and respectful way in which you conducted the service.” Victor’s Funeral

“Thanking you from the bottom of my heart for Dougie’s ceremony on Monday.
You gave him a truly brilliant send off and he would have loved you – fun, human and extremely thorough in summing him up as a person. So pleased you were there for us! The family and friends all said it was one of the best services they had been honoured to attend. Thank You So Much.” Dougie’s Funeral

“Thank you so very much for the beautiful send off you wrote and delivered for my nan, Olive. I knew as soon as I found you on-line you’d be the right person for the job and I honestly cannot think of a more fitting tribute to our lovely Nan. You were an absolute pleasure to work and communicate with; a true professional who clearly understands her role and clients’ needs. At a time of difficulty and sadness, you made the process so much easier. Thank you for everything.” Olive’s Funeral

“On behalf of my brother and I, we wanted to thank you Jane, for yesterday. All those that attended commented on how fitting the service was for our father, and commented specifically on the way the service was conducted. We have very much appreciated your guidance and empathy in what has been a surreal few weeks for both of us.” Leslie’s Funeral

“We feel the service was very personal and memorable for all the right reasons. It was a hard day but made easier for us by your caring attention to detail. We are very grateful to you for helping us to say a special goodbye to a very special Dad and in the way that we know he would’ve hoped for. So thank you.” Michael’s Funeral

I can’t tell you how reassuring it was knowing we were in your safe hands.” David’s Funeral

Thank you for the care and attention to detail in your assistance, it was much appreciated.” Desmond’s Funeral
