Kind Words of Appreciation

I am always deeply touched when the family of a loved one for whom I created and delivered a funeral tribute expresses their gratitude.


“Hello Helen, I just wanted to thank you for all the work you put into preparing and delivering Sue’s funeral on Tuesday. It really helped having you there to guide us through the day and to prepare a lovely tribute to her.” 

Chris

“Hi Helen, this is just a quick note to say a massive THANK YOU.
The day couldn’t have gone any better and it was lovely to hear people say that it was the loveliest funeral that they had been to! That was thanks to you listening so carefully to our description of Mum, her stories and then interpreting all of that into a beautiful tribute. It was ……perfect….. it really is the only word that I can use, because it really was perfect!

You hadn’t met our Mum, but we really felt as though you knew her. She would have loved you. Not only was the content of your tribute perfect, but your delivery was so special too. Mum really would have been so mad that she missed out on the day! The whole day really was a lovely and happy celebration of her life.
Thank you again for making the day so special.”

Lisa, Ghislaine and Grace

“Helen, I just wanted to say thank you for your tribute to Ron. I have had so much positive feedback from our friends and family who attended the funeral. There were so many positive comments; "What a lovely service" and "It was so Ron." At least one person said they would book you for their funeral! It was a really good tribute to his life.

You were also caring and thoughtful which helped me to get through this difficult day.

Thank you.”

Your input as the Celebrant was truly incredible - you have such a natural talent that shone through on the day, the  way you spoke with such a professional, personal and warm approach is a credit to you.

Everyone who attended said how amazing you were and how you kept the whole event together and helped it flow. My Aunty who has just turned 90 said in all her 90 years she has never been to anything like it and remarked that you were ‘just perfect!’ 

You really are a truly wonderful lady Helen. I am so glad to have met you in person.”

Gillian 

“Good afternoon Helen, just a short message to say thank you so much for this morning. We all thought that the way you conducted the service and the content was perfect. You made a real difference to all of us.

Many thanks once again.”

Thank you again.”

“Helen

Where do we start, during our very dark days leading up to and including last Thursday, you came into our lives, supported us, gave us great comfort and such strong guidance and direction. 

From being a complete stranger you became a friend. 

Thursday was perfect, in a big way down to you. 

We really don’t know how you do it, but it was so clear what a personal vocation this is for you and how much effort you clearly put in to it. 

It has been our pleasure and indeed privilege to meet you and benefit from your undoubted skills and above all commitment to helping us through the loss of our beautiful girl. Thank you.”

Gary and Barbara

“Hi Helen, I just wanted to thank you for the lovely service you conducted on Friday for my Grandma. I'm sorry I didn't get chance to thank you properly in person but was very overwhelmed and emotional on the day. My Grandad kept saying after how lovely it was and that you did a great job and did my Grandma proud.

I just wanted to put in writing how thankful we all are to you.”

Rachel

“Helen, thankyou for such a lovely service. I am the kind of person who is mostly used to doing things for myself. Today you took a great burden off my shoulders and I am truly grateful. It was a happy occasion just as we wanted it to be. We will never forget it.”

Michael

“Good afternoon Helen, just wanted to say thank you for your delivery of those lovely words yesterday.  Together with the music, the balance of the sadness at our loss set against happy memories of days from long ago, was just right. Many of the people present said that Mum would have loved yesterday.  I don’t think we could do better than that. Thanks again.”

Mike

“Dear Helen,

I am struggling to convey in words how appreciative and thankful we are to you for your support, guidance and amazing oratory skills at Mum’s funeral and Celebration of Life.

You captured the essence of her so brilliantly and I know she would have been so proud and it was just as she wanted it to be.  

Although we are all feeling such a sense of loss, and at times I wonder how we will manage without her in our lives, I do feel immensely proud and such a sense of gratitude for everything she achieved in her life and the fact that she was my mum!  We were so lucky to have her in our lives.

So many people commented on the tribute you delivered – not just what you said, but how you delivered it – you held everybody rapt in your warm glow.  I truly believe that you have found your calling – this is what you were meant to do and the world is a better place for you doing it.

Thank you!”

Chrysta, Tony and Malcolm

Dear Helen, I just wanted to thank you on behalf of all the family, for your help with Andrew’s funeral last week and for conducting the service exactly as we hoped.
