Testimonials
Dear Gary
I am writing to thank you for the wonderful service, I was especially touched by the words and sentiments;
then to receive it all in writing as the icing on the cake. Everyone who attended mentioned your name as a special person and how you made
them feel as if you knew him.
I could not have wished for better person to say farewell to the man I love.
Kindest Regards
A very grateful Carole
Gary was exceptional!! He was confident and engaging and was so calm, collected and compassionate. The family were absolutely elated! The comments he received afterwards were all really positive. Gary was able to capture this gentleman's life with the humour and love the family had for him

Just a note to thank you for the lovely service you gave for my father. My family thought it reflected Dad perfectly and I know it was just what he would have liked too.
Hello Gary
A note to say 'thank you' for conducting our service on Thursday last
We have been receiving messages from those that attended saying they were very impressed with the way it all went and the content of the service.
And I wasn't expecting the package that you presented to me at the end.
It was such a friendly and easy approach to what could or should be a very sad occasion.
So thank you again.
Gary,I thought you might like to know that all the members of my family/friends who attended yesterday's get together - were really impressed with the Service - had never been to one like it before - thought you did a marvellous job - and that you made it all so interesting.
Gary, i know we thanked you at the crematorium, but we wanted to say again how much we both appreciated the words for Gerry, and all the help and care taken in putting it all together.
Everyone we spoke to were so impressed, sincere thanks again.
Whenever we think of the day and Gerry we will remember you

Thank you very much.

Hi Gary,
It was truly an honour to have you lead Marks funeral, he would have been so made up to have such a wonderful service. Thanks also for the framed letter from the club and the “shrink” shirt, it was a lovely surprise and I’m very touched, you went the extra mile. You delivered Marks service in a wonderful way, I can’t thank you enough for being a part of a difficult day.
On behalf of all the family (mum included, I would like to thank you once again for making a sad occasion into such a beautiful celebration of mum’s life and helping us to remember her positively rather than focusing on the fact that she has gone from us.
We are all extremely grateful for the help and support you have given us throughout this time.
Gary,
Thank you so much for conducting
A really lovely service yesterday.
Your presentation was perfect and everyone who attended
Were genuinely impressed.
Thank you
Hi Gary,
My Mum and I would like to thank you for the lovely way you delivered Dad’s tribute, it felt very genuine and sincere. You did a great job putting it all together and your additional words were perfect. We were very happy with how the whole service went and its left us feeling that we gave him the best send off we could. The printed words you gave to Mum was a lovely touch to finish with. I’m sure my Dad would have approved too.
Once again our heartfelt thanks
Lynne and Corinne
I just wanted to say on behalf of my family, thank you so much for the way you carried out mums service yesterday . Everybody said what nice words you put together for Mum. Also thank you for passing on all the service sheets, and the packet of forget me not seeds, we will be planting them somewhere appropriate for mum.
I just wanted to drop you a line and say a huge thank you for all of your help towards giving our Dad a lovely service.
You were the perfect person to help guide us all the way through and every little touch you made was done with careful thought and respect.
We would like to say Thank you so much for Wednesday's Service it was so perfect & a celebration of Dad's life. You have no idea what an impact you made on all of us. Everyone has said an amazing tribute & it was a lovely day,it simple couldn't have been better.
Hi Gary
I wanted to drop you a quick line as I didn’t get to thank you properly on Wednesday.
The service you delivered for my Grandad was so beautiful and a stark contrast to what I expected, given the obvious restrictions in place. Everyone I’ve spoken to who attended the service, in person and online has said what a lovely service you delivered and how pleased my Grandad would have been.
As hard as the day was for my family, it’s important for me that you know how much better you made it for us all and this is something I will be eternally grateful for.
Hi Gary
Our traditional Scottish wake is coming to an end (the children have to go to bed and the red wine is running low, and we’re sure Marion would have enjoyed it ) but this is just to say that the service was wonderful and we’re very grateful to you for leading it so sensitively and sympathetically.
Should you ever need a recommendation do let me know.
Best regards
Melvyn
Hi Gary
Thank you so much for yet another wonderful service for someone so close to me. Again as with Dad's service everyone said how amazing you were, Marion would have approved of everything. Thank you so much and should anyone I know need a celebrant in the future I will contact you.
Hi Gary
I just wanted to thank you for the lovely service for mum's funeral and for the lovely presentation of the entire service you handed me which I was only able to look at yesterday. It is so nice and Hannah has suggested we create a memory box and place it in there along with the order of service and a grandparent book she completed about her life etc for future generations of the family as it tells a story of mum and her life. It is a really special thing to have and was unexpected so thank you again.
Kind regards
Heather
Thank you so much for all you did to make Jeff's farewell so beautiful, personal and special, it certainly was a Celebration of a Life well lived.
It wasn’t a day I was looking forward to but it turned out to be all I could have wished for. The number of friends and family that attended was uplifting and several have said what a lovely service it was and that it had made the day a lot easier for all.
Dear Gary
A very big thank you for the wonderful service you officiated for Mums funeral yesterday.
There were many lovely comments from relatives and friends saying how nice the service was and how appropriate
Many Thanks

Hello Gary,
Rosemary and I would like to express our utmost appreciation for your part in our goodbye to Derek last Monday.
Right from when we first met, you demonstrated a calm balance between total professionalism and a personal touch. The whole family was very impressed with the service and the effort you had gone to in order to convey the spirit of Derek. Your outstanding level of respect, dignity and mention of special moments created a touching, memorable and perfect conclusion.
I was particularly touched by the connection to Derek’s Naval career and the recognition you showed it.
With sincere gratitude,
Helen
Dear Gary,
on behalf of Violet, Diana and myself, we would like to thank you for an exceptional service today, you certainly exceeded our expectations of service delivery, and to say that you went the extra mile would be a massive understatement.
We cannot thank you enough for helping us to say goodbye to Arthur in a dignified and emotional manner, so again our many, many thanks
