What people have said about my funeral services

"Thank you Elaine for your thoughts. And thank you for making a very difficult day a little easier. And it really was a lovely tribute, wasn't it? You were so easy to work with and you couldn't have done a better job. My niece commented that she has attended many ceremonies with celebrants and she thought you were the best she had seen.
Kind regards,Celia"

"Hi Elaine,You are absolutely amazing - I'm so glad I was drawn to contact you to arrange and deliver this special service. All my family have commented on what a great job you did and how lucky we were to have you.
We have had great feedback on the service, many saying it was the best and most lovely service they have ever attended. The song and the flowers were very special, powerful and very Rhianon. Thank you so much for everything, you came to see us on boxing day and assisted us throughout the planning process and made the service day so special. I'm not sure if you have testimonial's on your website - but I would be very happy to write you one if you would like.
Best wishes to you and your family ~
Charlotte"        Memorial Service 30 Dec 2010

"Hi Elaine, I am writing on behalf of my family and myself, to thank you so much for your efforts on our behalf when you assisted us with my Mother's funeral service.I am extremely grateful for the way in which you conducted the service, and for your guidance throughout the entire process You took on board everything we asked for and it was not a 'morbid' affair. Mum would have hated that.   The copy of the transcript is beautiful and was totally unexpected. Once again Elaine, many, many thanks, you did a great job and I was glad to have your help. Kind regards  Jenny"

 "Dear Elaine,We were all very comforted by our Mum's service.  She had become so frail and suffered so much pain and distress for quite some time that her peaceful passing was a blessing.  Being able to farewell her with just our family around us and in our own way was very special and consoling to us.  Thank you for the part that you played in this.  You were perceptive and sympathetic and conducted the service beautifully.  We are all most grateful.  Kind regards,   Julie"

"Thank you for guiding us so gently through the service today.  Many people said they thought it was beautiful and gave Clive a wonderful send-off....Thank you again, Evelyn" 

"Thanks again for yesterday, it really was a very special ceremony.  Things turned out just perfectly.....and I know my dad would have thought you were great too. Love, Stephanie."

 "John's service was very beautiful and I've had a lot of feedback from family and friends telling me the same.  I'm very appreciative that the service was a real tribute to John and that his life was celebrated and honoured as he would have wanted. Thank you so much for your kindness and support and the lovely words that you took the time to compose.

Warm Regards, Fran.

"Thanks for officiating at Ray's funeral this morning.  You brought some lovely touches to the ceremony.  It all ran like clockwork which helped to ease the strain for the family.
Regards, Rose Saltman"

"Dear Elaine,
Thank you so much for the wonderful job you did in assisting our families with the difficult task of having a memorial service after 30 years.
I can't emphasise how impressed we all were with your ability to interpret what we wanted in the ceremony.
Once again, thank you from all of us,
Kim Jopson,   May 2009"

"Dear Elaine,
The service was perfect and is just what we were hoping for. Thank you for guiding us gently along this difficult journey. The service was exactly the way our father would have wanted it and you made this all possible.
Thanks again
Kindest Regards,
David Bridger and Dyan"

"Dear Elaine,
Again, I and the family would like to thank you most generously. You have managed to organise the seven of us to produce the best possible outcome for the memorial.
Everyone agreed that the service was exactly the way Beryl would have wanted and every family member went away reflecting on just how well it covered their own personal grieving process.
Your guidance was much appreciated by all.
Thanks 
Doug Auld,  26 March 2009"
 
"Dear Elaine,

 Regards,
 Michael,  Kim and family."

 

"When my mother passed away in 2005 and Elaine conducted her funeral service, the professionalism and empathy that she brought to this task was above reproach. I felt very comfortable and comforted with leaving the service in her hands.

It was a beautiful send-off and done with much compassion. So much so my father asked Elaine to conduct his service when the time came - which was all too soon.

18 months later I once again requested Elaine's assistance with a service for my Dad. It was one of the most heart-warming and touching services as Elaine managed just the right amount of reverence with the touch of humour my father wanted. I know both of my parents would have been very pleased with their exits from this world and it is largely because Elaine was able to give a personal and well-constructed service incorporating the many suggestions of my siblings as well as the specific requests of my parents.

I will never be able to thank Elaine enough for her kindness, caring and sensitivity during these very difficult times. The appropriateness and solemnity of each occasion was punctuated with genuine compassion as she farewelled each of my parents. Thank you so much for the beautiful words and the serenity you brought to my family and friends.

Rosemary Richards"
