"I can't express just how grateful I feel for having found you. I went with my gut upon seeing your profile and it paid off a zillion times. Thankyou"

 

Bex, July 2024

"We wanted to reiterate what an incredible support it was to have you guiding us through the preparations for mum’s service. Having to pull together something so personal at such an emotional time and to a deadline is very overwhelming. From the initial phone call to the meeting at Tom’s, the suggestions for readings and above all the delivery was perfect for us and most importantly mum. We received so many wonderful comments about how personal, natural and full of love the service was"

"You've got such a lovely attitude to life that comes through when you talk"

Keith. January 2024

"Thank you Vanessa ... You've helped so much with the entire process and knowing you were genuinely listening when I was talking about mum, I was confident that you understood her impact on the people around her and would be able to talk about her as if you knew her and you did. Her funeral was the loveliest awful thing"

“I’m struck by how much life you bring to death”

 

Sara. October 2023

"I would like to thank you on behalf of all of us so very, very much for helping us give mum such a beautiful send off. So many who participated in person and online complimented your tone, the eulogy, the whole ceremony and how it was orchestrated and that was due to your support and input. In hindsight I see how many ways it could have taken a wrong turn and your guidance was so professional and compassionate. 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

 

Christine. September 2023

"We have received so many nice comments about the service on Friday. Your stewardship through the event and the whole process of putting the service together was really vital. It's a strange thing to try to sum up a person's life in a few words but I think you really managed to capture a sense of who mum was. So, thank you!"

"Vanessa helped my daughters and me to craft a ceremony in memory of my wife [her], their mother. She met with us twice, kept in email contact and demonstrated great skill in eliciting the salient points that would provide a fully rounded portrait of [her]. She helped us put together a ceremony with music and poetry that reflected [her]\'s interests. The ceremony took place in the open air on a very hot day and drew in more than 100 friends and relatives. Vanessa showed concern about everyone\'s comfort during the ceremony and made sure that the event started promptly and proceeded at a good pace but without rushing. The very many positive comments on the ceremony that I received after the event illustrated my own feeling that Vanessa had provided us with outstanding service."

 

Eric. July 2023

"Hi Vanessa, As a family would all like to thank you, you made us feel so calm and relaxed. You spoke about [them] in a way that we would have. It was so kind, compassionate and warm. We all felt so proud of him and what he had achieved. So many people there said how lovely you were and how touched they were. It was a lovely farewell."
