What people have to say about me...
Mrs. G - Daughter
We would like to express our sincere thanks for leading such a lovely funeral service for our mum.
It couldn’t have gone better for us, we really felt we were able to celebrate Mum’s full and happy life and this then continued through to the wake afterwards.
It’s strange, funerals are things you naturally dread but we now realise how important they are for the bereaved. We all feel a little better and we truly own much of that to your professionalism and kindness. You have gratitude and respect.
Mr. T - Husband
Morning Lesley.
Just wanted to send a quick note to say thank you for reading yesterday at L’s funeral.
It went really well.
Mrs. H - Daughter
Lesley recently officiated at the ceremony for my mum’s funeral. From the outset she was organised, empathetic and helpful with ideas and thoughts which enabled us to construct the service we wanted.
She sent regular email updates and organised really helpful zoom calls. Her past experience as a teacher meant she was practical when helping us involve our young grandchildren in the service.
Comments from our friends and family included ‘the Celebrant made the ceremony very personal to Norma. I found the service uplifting. And the Celebrant ensured the service went smoothly and her eulogy was extremely fitting for the occasion.
Thank you for making mum’s send off such a positive experience.
Mrs. Summers - Daughter In law
When we first met Lesley was for the funeral of my father in law.
She was very respectful and sympathetic for our loss and listened to us talking about his life.
His wife was telling Lesley about the life they had together. She went above and beyond helping us with what needed to be done.
She couldn’t do enough for us for what we wanted in the service.
Lesley came to see us a couple of times to make sure everything was right.
We can’t thank Lesley enough for the support she gave us, it was a beautiful service.
Mr. Taylor - Friend
A close friend's funeral was an amazing and great send off.
The research put in and the way it went was absolutely fantastic so professionally done couldn't of gone any better than it did.
A massive thank you to Lesley for the service and kind words.
Ms. Burton - Daughter
Amazing lady made me feel relaxed.
When she came to talk about my Dad and even though I didn't have much to say, she managed to create an amazing service.
Funny as well as heart warming and thought of every detail I forgot.
Would recommend.

Anon. - Grateful Son
Sadly and following a short illness I lost my ageing father and like so many before me I was new to this and found help and advice from ‘traditional’ sources a little underwhelming and unimaginative.
A couple of years later Mum followed, Dad and I remembered Lesley and we started talking.
Well what a difference! I wasn’t being ‘rushed’; I felt I was being listened to; I felt there were other options; the whole process was more calming and so much less ‘dictatorial’.
No one in the family wanted to help with a eulogy. Lesley helped me with mine. I was ‘prompted’ to think of special tear jerking moments that I would never have thought of by myself.
It was still my eulogy but so much better than it might have been and with no repetition from Lesley on the day. Teamwork in a very difficult time.
I always work closely with all of my clients to ensure they are happy with every last detail.
