“I just wanted to take a moment to say a massive thank you for you’re time and effort, both yesterday, but also over the past weeks. Your words and delivery meant the world to us all and we were in total awe of your ability to deliver such a lovely and sincere service at such a difficult time for family and friends.

For this, we are eternally grateful in the role you undertook on Dad’s special day. We even got the sunshine, so the day was perfect.“

“Ali, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for yesterday. Your tribute was so articulate and so beautifully presented it felt so personal as though you personally were a great friend of my mothers. All our friends and family were effusive in praising the content and your sensitive delivery. On a personal note I found it a warm and wonderful tribute with the whole service beautifully arranged. So, thank you. “

“I’ve been meaning to email you just to say thank you again for what you did for Grandad’s funeral. Everyone was really pleased with how it went, the way you conducted it and the eulogy/tribute you wrote. My aunty and cousin both said you were perfect for the role, C actually said she felt put at ease by the composure and calmness that you naturally give off. Thank you again.“

“I wanted to say how grateful I was for the service and thank you again. People thanked me for a lovely service but they should have thanked you. Andy, my partner, said it was the best eulogy he had heard. My cousins and I spoke afterwards and it brought back many memories for them as well. Thank you again.“

“It was really great to meet Ali, she was warm and calm, easy to talk to and very accommodating to our needs. We were really happy with how she presented and spoke about Mum’s life and memories at her funeral. We couldn’t have thought of anyone more suited to this. We were and are very thankful.”

“Ali did an outstanding job putting together and giving a talk about my husband at his service. 
Everyone said it suited him to a T.“

ZB, Dec 2023:
“Thank you for everything you did to make the service just right.  The time you took to get to know my mum really showed in the words you wrote.  Everyone commented how lovely the service was and my nan said it couldn’t have been more perfect.

Having never been involved with arranging a funeral before you made the process so much easier for me.

Times like this remind me how lucky I am to have such lovely people in my life but also that special people you don’t know come into your life and really do make a difference in difficult times.

Thank you for everything.“

DR, Dec 2023:
“Ali is highly recommended. On a sad day for the family she conducted the service in an extremely professional and thoughtful way. Her research skills shone throughout even taking the time to visit dad’s care home where he spent his last 8 years. Everyone at the service made a point of highlighting her expertise.”

“Ali is a brilliant celebrant and we are so pleased she was available to help us plan and conduct the celebration of our wedding. She was professional at all times and kind, sensitive, easy to talk to and genuinely interested in our thoughts and ideas for our special day. She listened carefully and, together with her creative suggestions, helped guide us through to realise our ideal ceremony. Ali’s meticulous planning and attention to detail on the day allowed us to completely relax and enjoy what was one of the happiest days of our lives. Before, during and after our ceremony, Ali was an oasis of calm and she conducted the ceremony beautifully. We would highly recommend Ali to help and officiate in any service requiring a celebrant.”
