“Pippa was so warm and friendly, my daughters and I found her so easy to talk to about my late wife. This meant she was able to get a rounded picture from everyone. The ceremony was beautifully written and executed, we couldn’t have wished for a better send off for a much loved wife, mother and friend.”

“Pippa coped incredibly well with my family in a speakerphone family meeting with us, four people in the room and one on Facetime, all speaking over one another! A lovely service for my Dad which told his life story with warmth and love.”

“Pippa Pal is an exceptional celebrant and my family were fortunate to be able to secure her services in what was an extremely difficult time. She worked to create a beautiful humanist funeral/memorial for my sister in law that was inclusive of young children. Her natural empathy and easy manner meant she gained the trust and confidence of the family at the initial meeting (all of whom had never attended a humanist ceremony and were still in shock at the death)…..Pippa made the development of the script a collaborative process offering invaluable advice and words of encouragement along the way… She was very much at the heart of this humanist celebration with our family and friends, not just someone who was there to do the formalities….My family and I can’t praise and thank Pippa Pal enough and we feel lucky to have found someone as incredible as her who helped us mark the life of someone we loved. Perhaps more importantly, she also succeeded in creating a ceremony which had an enormous impact on the grieving process of young children and something that they will remember forever.”
