It’s always nice to get surprise gifts at Christmas. I got pneumonia.😂

I just want to say thank you so much for organising everything today for Mums celebration of life.
Knowing that you had written down what I wanted to say today took a lot of pressure off me and at the same time made me even more determined to say it myself. What you said was brilliant, extremely fitting - it felt like you really knew my mum. You are clearly very talented in what you do which was for me a great comfort.
Thank you so much.

Dear Ged

The service that you led for Diana yesterday was lovely and everything I'd hoped for.
I'd like you to know how much we appreciated the kind and sensitive way that you spoke and guided us along.
Thank you very sincerely from me and on behalf of Anne, Gay and Sue.

Kindest regards,

Good afternoon Ged,
I just wanted to say thank you again for conducting dad's service yesterday at Enfield crematorium, you did a fantastic job and mum was ever so pleased how it all turned out which is just what we wanted.
Funerals can be a stressful time with so much to plan and sort out but everything on the day went smoothly and mum got to give the dad the send off she wanted so once again thank you for your part in making that all happen.
Kind regards, Andrew

I’m always so grateful to next of kin for their comments. I always ask if I can post as a testimonial, including this;

Hi Ged
I just wanted to say another thank you for leading the service for my mother in law Joyce Conway last Thursday.
Despite the difficult family dynamics, everyone who attended agreed that the service was exactly what Joyce would have wanted. We all thought that your singing was superb, Joyce would have been very proud to have a soloist singing at her funeral, that would have been a very Hyacinth Bucket moment for sure!
And, no police were required to be called despite the very loud bust up in the car park moments before the service began, people managed to hold it together for 30 minutes!
It was a pleasure to meet you and thanks again for your help and support in giving Joyce a dignified send off.
Kind Regards
Julia
