I want every funeral I take to reflect the life of the person whose life has ended and helps those attending to express their feelings and how they’d like to remember the person they cared for. The families quoted below have found my  way of approaching funerals helpful and I hope you will too.

Testimonials

Linda’s kind, calm and confident approach made a huge difference to our experience which was not only appreciated by immediate family but also by all our friends. We will always be grateful to her for making such lovely memories of what would otherwise have been a very sad occasion.

Her guidance over the practical matters was also invaluable.

Dear Linda, 

Thank you for supplying us so generously with your script , but above all, thank you for your beautiful address and your guidance throughout.  Everybody commented on how good your address was and how they felt as if you had known mum. We, as a family, really appreciate your scrupulous care and attention to detail which resulted in a very good send off of my mother. We will always remember it

Very kind regards,

The R. Family

What can I say…..

You did him proud. The service was all about P. and was so appropriate. You read so eloquently and with great feeling with emphasis in all the right places.

Being in touch only via email and phone was no detriment (due to Covid-19 restrictions).

If ever I or someone I know needs a humanist then you are the one.

I will treasure the (presentation ) script keepsake.

My sincere gratitude.

Linda is a lovely caring sensitive lady. Made a very tough day a whole lot easier. We had lots of really nice comments on the service. She has great communication skills and kept us well informed.

Would definitely recommend her.

Thank you so much for yesterday’s ceremony. I thought it went very well. A lot of people commented on the talk, I think people who have only been to religious ceremonies can be pleasantly surprised by the personal nature of a humanist one. P…..’s grandchildren were also pleased to learn how much she had done before they knew her.

——————————————————-

I have received the presentation copy of the ceremony, thank you. I think it really sums up my mum’s life well and even if we pass it on to another family member I will keep a copy.

Linda inspired complete confidence from our first meeting. She was kind, patient and gave great attention to detail. She ensured that the service was all that we had hoped.
