“We had the pleasure of Kimberley for our service to celebrate my dads life in June. Kimberley met us all to get an idea of how dad was and created a beautiful service. A lot of people commented on how good it was. Kimberley was fantastic in keeping us updated and provided us with her words before the service.

 

 

I wanted to extend my deepest gratitude for the beautiful service you conducted for my Mum. Your words and the way you captured her life were truly amazing. You managed to encapsulate her essence and the impact she had on all of us perfectly. It brought both comfort and solace to our family and friends during this difficult time. Thank you for your compassion, thoughtfulness, and the grace with which you led the service. It meant the world to us to have someone who truly understood and conveyed her spirit.

 

 

 It was a wonderful service and we can’t thank you enough for giving mum such a great send off. Please accept our sincerest and humblest thanks. You will always have our gratitude. Take care and best wishes.

 

 

Thank you for your outstanding performance as the Celebrant for Mum’s funeral yesterday. All the family were delighted with the occasion and felt it was a super send off for Mum. Many there said afterwards that it was the best humanist service they had attended. I agreed. I am clear that this was due to your careful and sympathetic preparation, both for yourself and in support of us, and to the exceptional quality of your delivery on the day. Your tone, style and engagement with all of us there yesterday made it feel a really special occasion.  Your tribute provided the perfect framework for me and my siblings and helped give everyone who was there a real feel for Mum’s long and varied life.  Thanks again for making a challenging day go as well as it could have done.
