‘The service was just right – soft, gentle, and helped me cope with the loss and sadness. While you were speaking I became less tense, the sadness changing into acceptance. I was able to deal with the loss much better. Thank you for making bearable a traumatic day.’
‘I wanted to say thank you from all of us for the time and care you gave us. So many people have said how appropriate and apt his funeral was. How much he would have appreciated it! I have taken the opportunity of printing the full transcript for the children to keep. When we scattered his ashes, on a cloudy windy day, I read out your adaptation of Ewan MacColl’s words – nothing could have been more fitting.’
