Testimonials - Funerals

Hi Ken

I didn't get a chance to see you after Dads funeral yesterday to say thank You for such a wonderful, professional yet intimate Eulogy you delivered for our Dad. Your lead for the day made it easy for us to attend to Mum and our guests with the attention they deserved. Your services were greatly appreciated throughout this difficult time.

 Thank you - we were glad we had you with us!

 Kind Regards Cathy and Geoff

Hi Ken,

Just a quick note to thank you for the beautiful funeral service you did for my son, Allan. Everyone who attended can’t stop talking about it and how good a job you did. You made it sound like you knew Allan personally and I truly appreciated that.
 
So thank you once again and keep up the great work you do.
 
Yours sincerely, Gayle D.
 

 Good morning Ken, on the behalf of our family I would like to thank you for the service you conducted for our loved one Bill C. yesterday. Our friends asked if you were a friend of the family as your approach was very personal and compassionate which was a fitting ceremony for a wonderful man.

Thank you Ken, very much appreciated

Sincerely Bill and Suzy M.

 

Dear Kenneth, my apologies for the long delay in expressing our thanks for the funeral service you conducted for my mother Grace.

We feel fortunate indeed to have had such a compassionate and caring celebrant to conduct Mum’s service. You offered kind and considerate words when you came to Dad’s home to plan the service and you treated us with great respect showing a deep understanding of our grief. Your suggested service order, the words to say and poems to use showed an appreciation of what our family wanted to express about Mum and her life.

The service that you wrote was a wonderful reflection of our expression of our feelings for Mum and the life she provided for all of us. This was in no small part due to your communication skills and advice, which lead to a service that ran smoothly and allowed us individually to reflect on our memories of Mum and her influence on each of us without having to concern ourselves about how we were going to communicate these feelings as you did it beautifully.

You were professional at all times and certainly made a very difficult time for us a little easier. The provision of a copy of the service for us to keep was very thoughtful.

Thank you again for your care and consideration at such an emotional time for our family.

Lauraine on behalf of the our whole family.

 
Hi Ken,I would like to thank you so very much for the wonderful service which you gave for Mum's funeral on Monday.You had listened from the family, not just what was said, but also how we felt, and you conveyed it beautifully for all. You were clear & concise, showing her little quirks in a humorous way as was appropriate.We received wonderful feedback from those who attended, and some learnt a few things about Mum which they had not been aware of previously, such as ‘Edna"Thank you also for your personal support, advice and guidance throughout this difficult time. Your genuine caring went a long way in helping us to deal with our grief.
 
Thank You and Kind Regards

Just a quick email to thank you for the beautiful service you did for Dad. Everybody was moved and you captured him to a tee, I think he would have liked it too.

Just a short note in appreciation, on the Eulogy you put together for my Nan. As we face these difficult times in our lives, it is comforting to know there are people such as yourself, who can beautifully put into words the story or journey on one's life. It is only then that, us that remain behind, are reminded of the things our dearly loved relatives went through and achieved in their lives.

Again. I'd like to say Thankyou.

We just wanted to thank you for yesterday. The service was as we were hoping for, a little bit sad and a whole lot of fun. Mum would have loved it. Thanks again, and there were quite a few people also saying how nice and genuine you were.

"We couldn't have wished for a more perfect service to farewell our mother, and our guests were very impressed and most complimentary. We were grateful for your helpful input and suggestions, and for allowing us as much time as we needed to talk about our mother and her life so you were able to portray her so beautifully in your service.We can't thank you enough for making a very difficult and emotional time, much easier to bear."
