Presented a wonderful service for Gael Clough. Fitting that she liked Kermit and played golf.

Today I presided over the funeral for a much loved father. One of his mates made the casket, (first time I’ve seen a rectangular casket). Him, his son and a couple of mates made the hearse, (trailer).

I had the honour to officiate at the memorial service for Robbie Galvin. An amazing man who fitted more in his time from 65-97 than most will in their entire life.

So nice to get a lovely message from the family after a funeral.
‘Thank you once again for running the service and burial so expertly. We have had heaps of compliments about how fitting and lovely the service was and the part you played.’

RIP Jenny McEntee. Another job to add to the skill set; Hearse driver, after taking her to be buried with her late husband in Taita.

WTF has happened to Facebook? Nothing like it was before and certainly not an improvement .

Yesterday I had the honour of leading the funeral service for my good friend, Graeme ‘Snoopy’ Cooper. The perfect mix of recognising all his achievements and some of the hilarious moments in his life.
RIP buddy.

I had the honour to preside over this wonderful ladies funeral today.
Thd tributes on-line and at the service said so much of her contribution to the community.
The family were so nice to work with as well.
Lovely high tea to acknowledge her British heritage and great to see her dog Bouchée at the service.
RIP Anne Talbot-Bracey

I had a funeral service for a former New Zealand Railways worker. I wore the hat and whistled him in an out. Lovely comment received from his daughter, ‘Can't thank you enough for all you did. The hat and whistle. Very special memory for all at the service.’
