TESTIMONIALS

"How can we ever thank you?"

There are very few jobs in which you get personal feedback from all of your clients. I am so fortunate to be able to do the job I do, and to receive the kind of feedback that makes me feel like I am doing something right.

"Although we were all sad to say goodbye to John, I found the funeral ceremony uplifting, thanks largely to Phil Walder's input. His beautiful narrative about John's life gave the impression that he had known John personally. That, I think, was a great talent, and I shall always treasure Phil's sensitive approach."

"Thank you so much for the part you played in bringing it to fruition – or the many different parts. Your ideas of having the ‘symbolic communal act’ and the ‘Ripples’ cards were really good and enhanced the ceremony really well. You did a brilliant job with the technology, in difficult circumstances, so thank you so much for making that all work! Many people have commented to me about how good a celebrant they thought you were– you were a nice warm presence and got the tone just right."

"We just wanted to email and say thank you so much for being the most amazing celebrant we could ever have wished for.

We knew immediately on that first zoom that we’d found the right person and the beautiful, funny and moving service you curated confirmed our thinking.
