Funeral Testimonials

“Jane was really kind and helpful and supported us before and on the day. She led the memorial brilliantly and made a difficult and challenging time easier with her compassion and skill.”

“Jane did a wonderful job putting together the funeral service for my mother. She was kind and sensitive and asked so many detailed questions about my mother and her life to get a good idea of what she was like, so that she could create the best service. She explained everything very clearly and was thorough and efficient and made the whole process as stress-free as it could be. I would highly recommend her.”

"From our first meeting. right up to and including the day of dad's funeral Jane was absolutely wonderful. She took great care in the initial meeting to make sure that she had all the facts she needed to write her tribute to dad. She is very professional whilst at the same time both respectful and caring. Her communication skills are second to none. She was excellent at making sure we were kept fully informed at all times throughout the process. Everything went very smoothly on the day of the funeral and Jane's delivery of the service at the crematorium was impeccable."

"We could not have chosen a better celebrant. Jane is a wonderful listener and extremely generous with her time. Her gentle gathering of information and stories was then made into a beautiful address. I received many positive comments from attendees of the service.."

"Jane was excellent. She listened and took notes when we had a chat about my mum and included lots of what I told her in a speech about mum. On the day, she was also very happy to be corrected about something by my aunt! She was very friendly and interested in the guests and she felt so much an integral part of the day and linked the whole thing together so beautifully. The service was exactly what I wanted it to be and I was very pleased with how it went and the feedback from family."

"Jane was the celebrant for both my Dad and my Aunt’s funerals. She was so warm and kind and made the whole process easier. She spent a long time with me and my Mum, chatting about my Dad and getting all her facts about their lives right. She then read my words for me at my Dad’s funeral when I wouldn’t have been able to speak. My cousin asked for her details when his mum died and she did a great job then too. Thank you, Jane. You made two deeply sad days more bearable for us all."

"i'd like to thank you again for Wednesday. It was a great comfort to have you show so much empathy and understanding towards us and Dad. We both felt that you really got what we needed. Even though it was very hard, we felt that Dad's send-off was fitting and meaningful. This was in large part to your sensitive approach to the whole day."

"My brother and I can't thank you enough for everything that you did yesterday and for carrying us through it. You read so beautifully and were so kind, sensitive and supportive. We feel immensely lucky to have met you at this time and dad would have been very pleased that you were there.”

“Thank you for yesterday. Everyone said what a great send-off M had, that you spoke clearly and the script was spot on.”

“Jane gave huge and wise help and presented and managed proceedings really well.”

“Thank you so much for everything you did to make Friday go so smoothly. So many people commented to us that it felt like you knew my Dad. It was a very fitting send-off, I think he’d have loved it.”

"Jane did a fantastic job both on the day and in terms of her preparation. She was calm, organised and efficient, whilst also being warm and sensitive in her communication. It was particularly appreciated that she corresponded with the funeral director and ensured that we had the type of ceremony we wanted, down to the last detail. We felt that we were in safe hands all the way through, which is just what we needed."

"Thank you for conducting a very beautiful service for my father. It was widely agreed that you made it very special for which I will be forever grateful.”

”Thank you again for helping us give mum the best send-off we could. We’re all exhausted today but are confident she would have enjoyed the day if she’d been with us, and would have been proud.”

“You did a great job on the day, quiet and understated, just like Dad, and he definitely would have approved. It was the send-off he would have wanted and you played a large part in making that happen.”

"Jane handled the ceremony beautifully on the day, greeting and moving around all of the attendees. She paced the ceremony well, with time for reflection and the musical interludes too. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting a confident and lovely person to carry out a humanist event."
