“Please accept our sincere thanks for all your help and assistance with Dad's service yesterday. It was a beautiful service conducted so compassionately by you. The webcast worked extremely well and those on the receiving end were so grateful to be included that way. I can't think of a better way for his send off and I'm sure he would've been delighted himself, so thank you. I gather some of our friends and relatives were so taken with the service that they said they'd like to go exactly the same way themselves - a great tribute to you I hope.” - G.B.

“I just wanted to thank you for helping us to say goodbye to V - it was such a beautiful service a true celebration of our wonderful years together. I know V would have approved - it was full of the love we shared with him; as I said you made a very sad occasion more bearable with your kindness and support. I was so lucky to have had V in my life he was a super husband, dad and grandad. Thank for making today a day of treasured memories.” - M.J., August 2020

We all had a good chat outside the chapel recounting our stories of the life a wonderful man and have decided to have a get-together post-pandemic. I really can't say anymore that hasn't been said already so again thank you and I wish you all of the best for the future.” - M.C., February 2021

Very best wishes.” - LM, September, 2020

“Both G and I want to thank you for the very special attention that you afforded us today when you carried out your celebrant responsibilities in memory of P. You were so kind and respectful, and you were constantly attentive to our position and needs as well as being ever mindful of P and the person she was. It was a cold day but you made us warm. The attendance was very low due in no small part to Covid-19 but that did not diminish your delivery in any way because your personal need to serve those who were in need of assurance as well as giving full recognition to a life so usefully lived was complete because you cared -  whatever the numbers. You reached us in a real and positive way at a time of sadness for which we are most grateful.” - M.T.-December 2020
