“Sarah was amazing right from the start, she fitted in with our meetings in times that suited me, she was always available to talk about the smallest detail that I might have been concerned about.  Her attention to detail was impeccable and that made all the difference on the day.  The service went so smoothly, the choice of music, assisted by Sarah, was spot on, and the rosemary sprigs for immediate family and close friends to put on the coffin during the service was a really lovely touch.  We had a couple of discussions around the closure of the curtains around the coffin, during the committal, I hadn't realised that such a seemingly small action would make such a huge difference. I personally felt a huge weight being lifted from my shoulders as they closed and it was a lovely opportunity to really say goodbye to my mum.

I cannot recommend Sarah enough, her delivery of the service which was said with such grace and empathy was just right for mum and for us and everyone commented afterwards as to how lovely the service was.“

Wimpole Road Chapel of Rest, Colchester, October 2025

“The service in the pavilion and the brief few words by the grave of our parents, in the splendid woodland setting that they had chosen, were just as they would have wished for.”

“The video link worked perfectly. I’m pleased we were able to give Arnie such a warm and dignified goodbye. I would like to add my thanks for your calm organisation given that we had such a short time to prepare, your empathy in distilling the essence of Arnie's life and conveying the affection and respect we had for him.  It was the lovely farewell that I hoped we could give Arnie and that he so richly deserved. Thank you once again.

It was a beautiful service very nicely done.”

Croydon Crematorium, West Chapel, December 2024

“We just wanted to write a quick note to thank you for all your work for Mum's service last week. Particularly as you were hired so last minute, you really took the time to get to know Mum and understand the amazing woman she was. Your words and delivery were lovely and commented on positively by many attendees, who all agreed it was 'just right' for what Mum would have wanted. Also, the beautiful copy of the ceremony you sent out will be treasured. 

Once again, thank you for all your time and efforts."

Mortlake Crematorium Chapel, October 2024

“Thank you very, very warmly, for celebrating Anthea’s life so movingly at the funeral service last Thursday 17th October. Everyone attending, who spoke to me about it afterwards, said how moved they were emotionally by the service and how well held they felt by your gentle manner.

I know from my sister that she was very pleased with the way in which you conducted the service at Mortlake Crematorium Chapel. One of my friend’s sons, who is now an Anglican priest said that he too liked the service although he did rather miss the Sentences from the Anglican rite!

As you had predicted, the setting of Pembroke Lodge for the reception after the funeral was perfect. The sun setting at the end of the day was a particularly joy for us as it gently faded above the trees in the Thames valley below.

I enjoyed working with you and hope that our paths may cross again.

With many renewed thanks and best wishes.”

Mortlake Crematorium Chapel, October 2024

“Thank you very much indeed for your kindness throughout this process / ordeal, and for your delivery and production on the day of the funeral.  You really did a beautiful job, which was at once gently uplifting-yet-not-imposing, and also steering us through the service.

I can't say I actually listened to your words much!  If you'll excuse me, my mind was elsewhere, and I also kind of knew what you were going to say because I had read it several times.  But one thing stuck with me and that was your reminder for us to be kind towards others who might be struggling to process the grief. 

It has been an absolute pleasure to meet you and work with you, and thank you for being so patient. I wish you the best with your work. You said on Wednesday that before you started doing this job, you didn't know if you could do it.  Well, you can do it well.  And your sensibilities stand you in good stead for such a role, and you can be pleased that you offer a valuable service and comfort to families such as ours at such difficult times.”

Mortlake Crematorium Chapel, October 2024

“Thank you so much for taking the service for Joan.  It came across as being compassionate and very dignified under such unusual circumstances; you did really well with the brief facts you had and we are very pleased how things went.

We are sure Joan would have approved.

It was all so very sad at the end of her life and it is a relief to know that Joan has now been finally laid to rest and is at peace.”

Croydon Crematorium, East Chapel, September 2024

“Thank you so very much for constructing such a meaningful funeral for Dick. You took on board all my wishes and then wove your own perfect words around them to make exactly the funeral I had hoped for. Several people , including some I know to be regular church goers, said to me afterwards that it was a lovely service and one friend even said it was the most beautiful funeral she had ever attended.

Thank you even more for getting me through it. You were there for me all the way, dealing with my panics and supporting me. It meant so much to me that thanks to your support I managed to get through it all without breaking down so I have nothing to look back on with regret. I can remember that I did this last thing for him as well as I could”

North East Surrey Crematorium, July 2024

The service and your presentation of it felt meaningful, dignified, symbolic, and elegant, and still very tailored to mum and how we wanted to remember and celebrate her. Thanks also for introducing the rosemary tradition to us, I’m very glad we were able to accommodate it, it was very well received by guests and again, and the atmosphere it created was just what had hoped for. We enjoyed a lovely sunshine reception after, where the overwhelming consensus was that the service was really lovely and we hard indeed done our mum proud, so thank you for your part in that.“

Brian and I valued your thoughts and suggestions on the service and contents of the order of service; thank you for sharing the words with us today.  We very much appreciate that you reflected the families thoughts and shared those together with your thoughts on grief in a very gentle, caring and considerate way; it made the whole service very natural and respectful. It only remains for us to extend our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for all you did; loss is never easy but the service has very much helped us come to terms with our loss.“

You helped members of the family through this sad time with care and thoughtfulness.  Your address about Richard captured the essence of him so well and gave us calm acceptance of the occasion.

Again, thank you so much for all your help in the preparation and on the day.“

West Norwood Crematorium Chapel, March 2023

“I just wanted to say a very big thank you to you from me & from the rest of my family for the beautiful, sensitive and dignified service you performed for my Mum. Every body said how lovely it was and how it was the perfect tone of sincerity. It was obviously a very sad occasion for us, and as expected, I was completely broken with tears and grief. But you made it a very warm and personal service and it made a lot of difference and helped to soothe the pain.

I can’t thank Sarah enough for such a beautiful service for our Mum. It was exactly how we wanted it. Sarah met with me and talked about Mum to get a sense of Mum’s life and about Mum as a person to her friends and family. With a combination of words from me and Sarah’s great skill , warmth, sensitivity and experience she gave us a truly personal celebration of Mum’s life. It was a fitting tribute to somebody who means the world to me. It was very spiritual and warm without being overtly religious. Just Perfect. Thank You Sarah.“

It made us feel that her spirit was with us. Family and friends who were there or viewed from afar on the webcast all said what a beautiful service it was.

She listened, offered incredibly helpful advice and suggestions when we asked, and acted as a pillar of strength to us from the first day we met her, through the day of the funeral itself, and beyond. The love and respect that she showed towards us, our family members and, most importantly, to our precious son Theo, meant so much to all of us and is something my own parents still talk about. We will always be grateful.“

This is not only from those attending, but also from the many who watched it online who were so honoured to be able to participate remotely, especially with the lighting of the candle.
