Dear Susan,
Thank you again for all the work you put in on our wedding. You couldn’t have been more accommodating and patient throughout the process – despite us being clueless about how things should be done – and the ceremony was just perfect. There were a lot of compliments from the guests about how beautiful it was, especially the handfasting. You have such a warm presence and I loved the humour you brought in in the speech!

Hi Sue,
I Just wanted to get in touch to thank you for your contribution to such a touching service for my dad today.
It was a beautiful ceremony in the chapel and at the graveside.
The way you delivered it all was faultless and I’m eternally grateful to you for your kindness and professionalism and the way you summarised my dad’s life was so moving.
You made a truly difficult day much easier with your empathy and compassion.
Thank you so much.

Dear Sue
A big thank you from Judith and I on behalf of the whole family for your part in Friday’s service to celebrate J’s life. I think we all agree that it was a rather lovely tribute to a man who rarely enjoyed the limelight and whose strengths often went unrecognised. Your preliminary advice, the coordination you provided and the special touches you added along the way provided the anchor for it. And ‘Bright Eyes’ was a wonderful inclusion!
A big thank you for the funeral script, which arrived this morning. We are so impressed by it – something we have never seen before which really does add to the memories of the day and the person.
You provide an exceptional service that really does make a difference.

Dear Susan
I just wanted to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you on behalf of my Dad, D, P, V and myself. You made what could have been a difficult day, very special.
Right from our first meeting you put us all at ease and Dad was instantly comfortable in your company. It felt as if you already knew our dear mum.
The service itself was perfect and many of the congregation commented on what a wonderful person the celebrant was.
So Thank you from us all for being part of our celebration of Mum’s life and I wish you all the very best for the future.

“Hi Sue, I was so pleased with the effort you put in today and your prep you worked very hard and it played off 10-fold. I had so many compliments on your service today and thank you from the bottom of my heart. Everybody I’ve spoken to thought it was a lovely service delivered in a very heartfelt way thank you so much. Thank you for your help and communication over the last couple of weeks you made it much easier for me to organise. Thank you so much.”

“Dear Susan, now that we have had time to reflect on Friday’s service for B, we would like to thank you once again for the way in which you conducted the service.
We think that you got it just right. It came across as though you had actually known B for years and we are very grateful to you. Many people who attended the service also commented on what a great job you did. Thanks again.”

“I cannot recommend Sue highly enough. A wonderful lady who made my mum’s service a service of celebration and remembrance with such a personal touch. Thank you Sue x”

Dear Sue, Thank you for sending the script, but most of all thank you for the perfect way that you helped us to celebrate B’s life. So many people said afterwards that it was one of the ‘best’ funerals that they had been to. Although this sounds an odd thing for them to have said we understood what they meant. Everything was pitched just right and your care shone through. Thank you once again for easing us through the day.”

“Hi Susan, I just want to thank you again for the lovely service you did for my husband’s funeral yesterday. Everyone has said how beautiful it was, your words summed up his life exactly, I couldn’t have said it better. It was exactly how he would have wished it to be and for that I am grateful. It was a lovely send off, you did us proud and for that I am eternally thankful. Keep up the good work, you deserve every success in your life.”

“Please accept the whole family’s thanks for everything you did. You certainly guided us superbly at a very difficult time for all of us. Your confidence in myself and Abbie was palpable and certainly helped both of us summon up the courage to speak at the ceremony. It was a lovely service and all who attended told us how proud S would have been of us. We take some comfort from that.”

“Hi Susan, you gave the eulogy so much life, you made it so personal. I could say so many words, but none of them have the sentiment I want to convey, other than Thank you so much. You made the words so heart felt and meaningful. From our whole family, thank you so much.”

“I can’t thank you enough for last Wednesday. We had so many compliments about the service and the way you conducted it. It was so memorable for all the many people who attended. Again, my heartfelt thanks.”

“Thank you so much for all you did to make N’s service so special. So many people remarked afterwards that it was exactly right and just what he would have enjoyed – perhaps he did who knows?Some of those who watched online have also contacted us, with their thanks for feeling included.Your input with the planning was much appreciated, as although we had some ideas, you were able to make them practical for the setting and took a lot of work off our shoulders by liaising with the funeral director over the details.Once again, many thanks from all of us.”

“I have to admit that I could not open your envelope for a few days. Thank you so much for the full funeral service script. It is lovely and I am so pleased with it. Also thank you for the heart of wildflowers. I will plant them in our garden and celebrate N’s life when they flower. Life is still very hard and I miss him so much but thank you very much for making his day so special.”

“Firstly, from R and I, thank you so much for all you did for Friday’s service, it really felt like a wonderful tribute to D, and your warmth and support were invaluable, so thank you for everything. I understand how hard and strange your job must be at the moment, but all we could see was compassion, warmth and a real safe pair of hands keeping it together, so thank you and thanks for the script, we will keep it as a treasure.”

“Thank you so much again for yesterday. I couldn’t believe how seamlessly and beautifully you put it all together! I’m so glad it was yourself who carried out the service because it was exactly as I imagined it to be. Your calm nature and presence was wonderful. Thank you again.”

“Thank you so much. You definitely brought a happier side to the service which was not only uplifting but a sidestep from the norm which is just what we as a family we’re looking for … so thank you. Keep doing a grand job …”
