Sarah went above and beyond what was asked of a funeral celebrant and our family couldn't thank her enough. Every little detail was taken care of and service information was presented promptly after confirming it all with the family which included all music tracks and Hymns . Sarah took a friendly and professional approach to the family ensuring that they were well looked after and that nothing was too much trouble. I have no doubt that Sarah will be a huge success in her future endeavours and would not hesitate to recommend her to any family given the chance"

Sarah, you were amazing on Tuesday, and not just Tuesday, but all the love and support you have shown us throughout the whole process. The service was delivered perfectly, so heartfelt, warm and full of love. You made the best decision to become a celebrant and deserve every success with it.

Sarah was the celebrant for my brother-in-law’s funeral; the compassion and warmth she brought to the occasion was exactly what was needed; she is a lovely lady who would be a credit to any celebration. I cannot recommend her enough.

I cannot thank Sarah enough; she came into our lives when we were at our lowest point following the loss of my mother. She walked into the room and immediately we knew she was right for us; she is the warmest, most understanding and compassionate person. Within a few minutes she connected with my dad, and we were all chatting freely about mum again. She gently explained the processes to us and helped us choose the right remembrance service. After a long chat full of tears and laughter, she left us knowing what lay ahead, and that she would be there to guide us through the next few weeks, whenever we needed her. A few days later we received Sarahs draft tribute to review. I still don’t really know how she did it but, Sarah had managed to transform our ramblings and disjointed memories into a beautiful tribute, which captured our mum’s character, love of our family and summarised her life’s adventure perfectly. Sarah then went on to guide us through the funeral, conducting the ceremony with utter professionalism, whilst always being so gentle and kind, guiding my dad and us all throughout. The service was beautiful, funny at times while always being respectful, it was what mum would have wanted. Sarah, I thank you again, on behalf of my mum (she would have loved chatting with you), from my dad, who you comforted when he needed it most, and from me and the rest of the family, for helping us through this process with kindness and gentle expertise.

Sarah came into our lives when we were trying to cope with my Dad's bereavement. Her warmth, respect and professionalism was invaluable. From our first meeting she immediately reassured both mum & I that we were in the best possible hands. Her genuine interest in hearing about dad & asking questions that embraced who he was & what he meant was greatly appreciated. Throughout her efficiency & keenness to ensure we were happy with the service helped enormously, as did her willingness to make herself available if needed. On the day of the funeral, seeing Sarah when we arrived immediately put us at ease & she continued to lead the service with the warmth & respect she had displayed throughout.
I would recommend Sarah to anyone experiencing the loss of a loved one, she helped us give dad the perfect send off that he so greatly deserved.

I cannot thank Sarah enough for the lovely tribute she delivered at my Dad's funeral; she turned our memories into a moving and funny, at times, tribute, which she delivered flawlessly. Nothing was too much trouble she kept us updated at every stage and also designed and printed the order of service. She is kind and compassionate and really looked after us on the day of the funeral. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a celebrant. Thank you, Sarah. You made a hard day a lot easier.

I can not thank Sarah enough, she went way way above and beyond for me and my family, after myself was left with the unexpected sudden death of my mum and I honestly didn't know what I had to do or where to start.
Sarah came and we spoke about my mums life and she went away and come back to me within a few days with a script of what she had worked on and worded perfectly for my mum, and most of all she made my daughter ( the only grandchild age 7 ) feel very important and very included throughout the whole process.
After the service Sarah gave me and my 2 siblings a full copy of the whole script for keepsake and my daughter a special script with the poem she read dedicated to my daughter with a photo of my mum and wording " remembering my special nanny a shining star forever " and my daughter has not let that out her sight and whenever she misses her nanny she opens the scroll and reads the poem, I am so grateful for the work and effort you have done for me Sarah and I'm sure anyone who you work with in the future will feel the same as I do you truly are brilliant and make anything that is a doubt in sight become possible to overcome and will forever be thankful x

Sheila
Sarah is kind, caring, and thoughtful and puts other people’s needs before her own; there is no one else I would trust. My mom was dying of cancer and in extreme pain. My family had never been through this before, we didn’t know the options. Sarah did everything she could to explain everything to me and to support me, including emotionally from day one until the end. Sarah didn’t have to she chose too, because she is a kind loving person who wants to help. If Sarah had been a celebrant when my mom passed, I would have hands down picked her to be the celebrant at her funeral. I couldn’t imagine anyone better suited for these special family moments.
