Hello Stephen,

“I just wanted to say thank you for you efforts today. Everyone I spoke to was impressed by the ceremony and felt it was an excellent reflection of …………. A number of people have gone away thinking that, when their time comes, they would like a humanist  ceremony, which is indicative of how impressed they were.

“Hello Steve

I would like to thank you for the service you provided for
my mum today from myself and my family. I think that my mum would have
approved. I thought the poems that you chose fitted perfectly and the
overall atmosphere was just right. My wife would like to thank you
also. A humanist ceromony was not something that we had ever considered
before but we would certainly do so in the future.

I don’t know what
feedback you received afterwards but the general concensus was that it
was a very good ceremony which fitted the purpose and then some.

I would personally like to commend your professionalism and empathy and
once again to thank you for a very good service”.

With regards

Steve,

Our family would like to share our heartfelt thanks and gratitude for the beautiful service that you delivered for our dad.

It was the most perfect day for all of us and ………. family and friends.

Thank you again, regards………………………family

Many Thanks

Thanks Steve for a great ceremony. As a family we were all very pleased and everyone commented on how it was well done. More so, a guy turned up who went to sea with my dad in  the 50’s, he saw the Echo advert, that really made our day, as he was good mates with our ……… for 8 years and lost touch, my dad would have been very pleased and chuffed.

I will recommend you to any future people regarding such Celebrant ceremonies.

All the best,

Regards,

Many thanks again.

• Humanist Funerals and Memorials:

“Celebrate and mourn the life of someone who has died by choosing a Humanist funeral or memorial where you are able to commemorate them and share the memories they have left behind without any religious committal to an ‘after-life”.

If I am chosen to officiate at your ceremony I will:

1. Arrange to visit you and your family/friends.  You can share your family stories with me, and I would hope to learn about your loved one’s personality and achievements. This will help me build a sense of who they were and what made them unique and special to you.
2. Construct a ceremony that will be bespoke to your loved one. I will help you with all aspects of the ceremony i.e. selecting poetry and readings as well as your chosen music at the appropriate times in the ceremony.
3. Provide you with a finished paper copy of the ceremony script.
