A big thank you Wendy for the work you put in for Mary’s funeral service. It was absolutely perfect – you had the essence of Mary without a doubt.
Julie C, October 2019
We would like to say a big thank you for your contribution yesterday. Many people commented afterwards that it was a fitting and at times emotional tribute to dad's life especially with the Royal Marines in attendance. I am sure he would have been very proud and pleased with the send off. You put together a lovely service and performed it so smoothly for which we really appreciate.
Len’s family, October 2019
I just wanted to say thank you so much for your fantastic contribution to mum’s funeral. We all thought you were amazing. You really got the measure of mum and spoke with such warmth that everyone commented on how lovely the service was. The added bonus was just how good the drumming was at the end!
Kay L, September 2019
Thank you so so much for the wonderful send off you gave my beloved mum yesterday. We were overwhelmed with lovely comments from those who attended. We wanted the service to be about love, family and friends and that was exactly what you gave us, it may have been our words but the way it was constructed and delivered was perfection, It had been a tough month building up to this but as soon as I got out of the car and saw you a sense of calm came over me as I knew we were in very safe hands. Although one of the worst days of my life so far it was also one of the best seeing so many people there and hearing what mum meant to them.
Bev T, August 2019
Thank you so much for the most amazing service for mum today, it couldn’t have been more perfect and she would’ve been so proud to hear it. The kindness and compassion you showed my father, and all those present, especially myself, was phenomenal.
Sarah B, June 2019
I just wanted to say a mahoosive Thankyou for your warm steadying influence today. The service, I believe, was widely regarded to have hit just the right note and this was down to your guidance. You will have a special place in many of our hearts. You came as a celebrant but left as a friend. All the very best of things to you always.
Pascale N, June 2019
Thank you for your help in making our service for Mum today a most wonderful and memorable occasion. Everyone said how much they enjoyed it and how Mum would have enjoyed it too. All were impressed with your presentation and understanding of our feelings.
Pat, June 2019
I just wanted to say thank you so much Wendy for the wonderful service for Dad. Everyone commented on how it was delivered. You made it seem as if you knew him and it was spoken with true warmth.
Lynne, April 2019
Just wanted to say thank you so much for your kindness. The service was just beautiful, everyone said how lovely it was. You made a very difficult day a little easier, even though we only met you twice, you felt like a friend conducting the service.
Anne, April 2019
A very big thank you for the service for our mum. We are so grateful for the support that you gave to both grandchildren during their readings and to us before, during and after the service. We know Mum's service wasn't the most conventional, but it certainly wasn't a sad affair. We had lots of people coming up after the service saying that you had done a fantastic job - totally capturing Mum's personality and humour. I and they have never been to a funeral service where you have sobbed one minute to be laughing the next.
Linda and Teresa, March 2019
Everyone without exception has commented on your service - the way you spoke and the dignity and compassion you showed. I wouldn’t have changed anything on the day and you captured everything we spoke of in a wonderful way.
L.B, February 2019
We couldn’t have asked for more and your thorough and calm preparation beforehand both relieved the pressure on us and gave us the confidence that the service would be a true celebration of C’s life. The comments we received afterwards from family and friends were entirely positive and a number of them told us they are now reconsidering their own funeral options.
A&NP, January 2019
Wendy thank you very much for dad’s service. It was word perfect and heartfelt. All who attended said what a lovely job you did. Long may you continue bringing comfort to other families in the same way.
Ian P, January 2019
Thank you for the wonderful service for my dad. All what was said was dad exactly. You captured the love my mum and dad had for each other; the love he had for his family and his sincere but fun loving attitude to life. Mum particularly loved your delivery of the tribute in your warm, compassionate manner. Dad certainly had the best send off he deserved.
J Rees, December 2018
You are absolutely amazing at your job Wendy. You did a fab service and everyone was delighted and commented on how well you summed up my brother’s life. At the wake a few people said they had you to conduct family funerals and that you're very professional.
Clare, November 2018
Just a MASSIVE THANK YOU for all you did to facilitate dad’s service today! You were a rock and kept us all calm! You are a true professional with care and passion. It wasn’t easy for us in what we had to do but the warmth, care and compassion you gave held us all together and saw the service through. So many commented on how nice the service was. I just can’t say enough to tell you how grateful we all are Wendy. Top top lady!
C. Davies, November 2018
The service was beautifully delivered Wendy. It was so heart warming and felt like you knew mum, dad and myself for many years. Many people have said to me that it was one of the best, if not the best funeral, they have attended. It seems odd t have been a best funeral when emotions are so mixed. Your support and thoughtfulness are so much appreciated.
D.P, October 2018
I am sending you a heartfelt thank you for the beautiful eulogy you created for my son’s funeral. Everyone expressed praise for the lovely words spoken at such a beautiful service.
RC & AB, October 2018
Wendy you are so much more than someone who conducts a funeral service. You listened to us; guided us with choices on what we could do and made the whole experience of creating a service which honoured our dad much easier and rewarding than we could have imagined. Your patience, kindness and professional calm way made all the difference. We will never forget what you did for our family. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Robert, September 2018
I would just like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you for the all of your help around the organisation of Val’s funeral. The service was better than we could have hoped for - everyone who attended said how beautiful and special it was. I know that Val would have been as pleased as punch with everything that you did. You truly made the whole process as smooth as it could possibly have been and I am sure that, without your help and guidance, I would have not have managed to get through it as easily as I did.
MH, August 2018
Everyone who attended J’s funeral thought it went well and the band made it a little bit special. I know this is your job and you have been trained to do so but you made our family feel as if you were organising it just for us and the way you conducted yourself throughout was so thoughtful and sincere.
LP and Family, August 2018
Wendy we will forever be indebted to you for the incredible kindness and trouble you went to to make us feel that we could say goodbye to dad in a way which reflected how much we loved him and what he meant to his family. You came up with sensitive ideas to make the service so personal but you also took time to reassure us and look after us from start to finish. We couldn’t fault how you guided us through such a difficult time and made it possible to say goodbye in a way we could never have achieved without you.
PS, July 2018
On our first meeting I just knew you were the perfect person to hold the service for our daughter. People said
"Lovely service, what a lovely lady Wendy is". So true. Everybody commented what a lovely, true and fitting tribute it was, capturing her life perfectly and beautifully delivered. In fact plenty remarked it was the best celebration of life service they had been to.We cannot thank you enough for all your help and guidance towards making the service so special.

The L Family, May 2018
I wanted to thank you again for everything you did for nan yesterday. It was truly a beautiful service made very personal by you. I had so many comments afterwards that it was the nicest service many had ever attended. It was just perfect for nan and very much in keeping with her beliefs and focusing purely on love which she had in bucket fulls. We feel privileged that you have done this for us. Thank you.
Eva’s family, May 2018
We just wanted to say thank you to you Wendy for conducting such a beautiful service. So many people told us afterwards how lovely and uplifting it was and you made such a heartbreaking moment in our lives so much easier to cope with and gifted us with such a positive memory of that awful time. We will be forever grateful.
Family of J J, April 2018
I wanted to take some time to put down in words how much we want to thank you for helping us, particularly my dad in putting together a truly wonderful service to honour the memory of my mum. Through a particularly difficult time for my dad you really did show an immense amount of compassion and support for him when you met with us and I am truly grateful for that. The service was very simple and dignified and I always knew you were on hand to support us whenever we may have needed it. I will have no hesitation in recommending your services to people in the future.
A. Bowler, March 2018
I wanted to thank you for handling the celebration of life service for my father. Your help was superb. You turned our event into a pleasure and something memorable for all those who attended. I 100% recommend your services. Thank you so much. You did a beautiful job.
Adrian Crawford, February 2018
Thank you for listening to us and creating with us the funeral service we wanted. You really have no idea how much your guidance and genuine kindness made the experience of saying goodbye to someone we adored, so memorable. It was a real celebration of their life and we felt uplifted and comforted by the service. No one else could have done it better. We would recommend you without any hesitation.
KS, February 2018
I cannot believe how easy you made the planning of a funeral service when we were all miles away from Plymouth. Thanks to your warmth and professionalism you helped us with the arrangements and when we met you for the first time at the chapel it already felt like you were a family friend. We couldn't have done this without you Wendy and we feel the service was everything and more we could have hoped for M.
RP, January 2018
When you met us before the service you led us through everything and helped us to make difficult choices with calm compassion and empathy. The service itself was brilliantly led by yourself and we had really nice feedback afterwards from those who attended. Thank you Wendy for all that you did for us.
LG's family January 2018
Thank you for arranging and overseeing the funeral service for our dear friend. It is never easy to say goodbye to an old friend but please know that I am so grateful for your calm and measured conduct of the service, which I believe provided a particularly fitting final tribute to him.
