Testimonials
- I cannot recommend Jo enough, she did such an incredible job as the celebrant for my mothers funeral. She had never met my mother but just from speaking to my brother and I she managed to encapsulate her personality so accurately, to the point many of our family and friends at the funeral assumed that my brother and I had written Jo’s speech. She also did a great job in making sure her part didn’t overlap with my brothers own eulogy. Our aim was to celebrate my mothers long and incredible life and Jo played a huge part in doing so. Am incredibly grateful.
- Joanne was a consummate professional throughout the entire process. Her communication via phone, email and when we met in person was first class. She is sensitive, empathetic, and really strived to understand our mother in order to personalize every word that she delivered during the service. We chose to celebrate our mothers life and Joanne struck exactly the right tone to ensure that the service reflected exactly that.
- “Thank you so much for conducting the funeral service for B. So many people commented on how lovely it was, and that you had captured his personality perfectly. This was from diverse groups such as cousins, work colleagues, college friends and our children’s friends, so you definitely did well!”
- A religious service was not required. We wanted a more personal occasion. Joanne was marvellous from the first point of contact thru to the end. We had a wonderful send off for mum, which couldn’t have gone any better.
| I felt we were in such good hands with Jo. She put a huge amount of effort into preparing for the funeral. She listened to all our memories and put together an amazing and very personal eulogy for my Dad. Everything we could have wished to include was there and delivered with such calmness, authority and serenity. There was huge respect for my Dad and also moments of smiles and laughter. I can’t praise Jo highly enough. 🙂 |
- “May we, and on behalf of all the family, send to you our heartfelt thanks and love for the most beautiful way in which you conducted the short ceremony. Your calmness, and compassion shone through greatly to us which took out some of the sting that death brings to loved ones. It was perfect, just as C and the family wanted it to be, with ‘no fuss’.”
- Jo was excellent. From the time that she visited us at home, the open communication on the run up to the funeral to the actual day. Jo was caring and understanding.
- “Firstly thank you so so much for W’s celebration. You really were amazing, listened intently and asked the right questions to create a prefect picture of our boy. We can’t thank you enough and you will always be a part of our special day.”
