“Just a word of thanks for officiating so beautifully at A’s service yesterday. I don’t know how you captured A’s essence on the basis of our ramblings about her when we met at her house but you did. Many people have already been complimentary about you and about the service.
We couldn’t have asked for better guidance and help or a more skilful and compassionate manager of the process. Thank you.

“I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you for the way you took N’s funeral service. EVERYONE remarked about how good you were. I was especially pleased as you explained his life in a way that wasn’t too long winded but had all the essence of what was ‘HIM’ something I couldn’t have done……… perhaps that’s why you’re a Celebrant and I’m a hairdresser!!laughing I will never forget you and your kind ways and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.“

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.“

Everyone said it suited him to a T.“

ZB:

“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:

“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.”

P & J:

“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.”
