Funerals & Celebrations of Life

Every life is unique, and every farewell should be too.

Saying goodbye to someone you love is one of life’s most profound moments. A funeral or celebration of life is a chance to honour their story—the memories, the laughter, the love, and everything in between.

Every life is unique, and so should be the way we say farewell. Together, we’ll create a ceremony that reflects who they were and what they meant to you and your family. From the music that makes you smile through tears to the words that bring comfort and connection, every detail will be crafted with care and compassion.

Whether it’s a quiet gathering in a garden, a service at the crematorium, or something entirely different, I’m here to help you shape a ceremony that feels right for you and honours their memory in the most meaningful way.

I’ll guide you through the process, listen to your stories, and bring them together into a ceremony that celebrates their life, their legacy, and the love they leave behind.

Let’s Create a Ceremony That Truly Honours Your Loved One

Lovely things folk have to say…

Dear Susan,

I just wanted to touch base to say a huge thank you for everything you did last week in pulling together the eulogy and service for my father’s funeral.  We have had so many comments from other people who
attended saying what a beautiful service it was and on just how well you did the eulogy and carried out the service.  While I know that you may say that it is what you do, neverthless you captured so beautifully his life in the eulogy and made it so much easier for us in pulling together the service and the care and attention came across
in how you delivered it.  Thank you.

Hi Susan,

Just a quick e mail to let you know how much I thought of your professionalism yesterday. You spoke magnificently and did my dad proud. I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to speak to you in person to convey this message as that would have been the respect I would like to have shown you.

It is a real skill to be able to communicate clearly and concisely and must be a very rewarding job to be part of a family’s final send off for their loved ones. Just to let you know that you made the passing of my dad a little bit easier for all of us knowing it was in your very capable hands.

But please don’t be offended if I say to you that I hope I don’t see you again for a very long time.

Thanks again.

Dear Susan.

On behalf of myself, but also my family and friends, I would like to thank you so much for your speech at Finns service on the 21/11. It was beautiful.

Kind regards,Nina.

Hi Susan,

We can’t thank you enough for the amazing job you did today. You captured him perfectly, and spoke with so much sincerity. It was almost like you knew him yourself. 
 
We were so comforted by the number of people who joined us for dads service today and everyone has been talking highly about it. This was mostly down to you. 
 
We can’t thank you enough for all your time and efforts to make today so memorable.
