Testimonials

“I just want you to know how much G. and I appreciated the way you conducted T.’s memorial service. Every one of our friends remarked on the kind and tender way you presented it. It is exactly as T. would have have wanted it.”

“I had to put pen to paper to say a huge ‘thank you’ for making the service absolutely incredible. It did not seem like a funeral – you made it extremely special; you spoke about I. a lot and made it a day for him…the number of my family who came up to me and said the service was original and befitting I.’s personality was amazing, thank you once again for making the day so special.”
