I just wanted to say a big thank you to you for a beautiful send-off for my sister. It was just right and suited her to a tee. We were so glad that you were able to support us at this sad time, helping us through the day with information and making us laugh and cry at our memories.

Having you supporting us through Christine’s final journey made us all feel better in a way that you can in these situations. I was glad to read that day and thank you for your support when I had a wobble.

Once again many thanks for making her final journey a lovely celebration of her colourful life. Love and best wishes – Jenny & Pete

To Jo, we wanted to thank you so much for helping to give Dorothy the best send off possible. Your spoken words helped remember her so well and the way you conducted the service was beautiful.

Dear Jo – I write to thank you, on my own behalf, for the excellent way you handled all aspects of my mum, Margueritte’s funeral.
As a serious Christian of over 40 years I have to admit to qualms whenever faced with a non-Christian funeral but I need not have been concerned in this case. Your thorough preparation, far-ranging and thoughtful, culminated in a memorable and fitting celebration of my lovely mum’s life. And you coped perfectly having to follow the double act of my two special nephews. Thank you Jo. – Jackie Brewster

Hi Jo, we wanted to drop you a quick message to convey our deepest and heartfelt thanks for the incredible service conducted on our behalf and celebrating Dad’s life on Thursday. The words were inspiring to not only me but also created lots of talking points at Rivenhall Oaks following the service. Delivered and executed professionally, we believe you captured the essence of Dad perfectly. You set the tone for the day by striking the right balance between tribute and pure love we had for Dad – perfect for his final symbolic journey back to nature. I think he would have loved it. Thank you and our warmest regards Grant on behalf of The Cuthill Family

I wanted to thank you so much for the beautiful service on Tuesday. Everyone said how lovely and personal it was, and they thought your delivery was really heartfelt – I was even asked if you knew Tony personally because it came across that way. I am so grateful to you for making it special for him and I loved the Man Utd logo on the screen. Kirsty x
