“Sarah was amazing from start to finish. My mum passed away just four weeks after my brother lost his battle with cancer, I was overwhelmed with everything that needed to be done but Sarah took the pressure off and made everything much easier. From our initial meeting to discuss the service (and the big warm hug), to the service itself, she kept me updated and checked in regularly to see how I was coping.
The eulogy was beautiful, it summed mum up perfectly and Sarah even brought coffee and chocolates to place on the coffin for mum, which made everyone smile. Sarah really takes the time to get to know the person whose service she is taking, and it's those little details that count. I have had many messages from family and friends on what a lovely service it was, and what a warm and caring person Sarah is.
I can't thank her enough, she made a very sad day into a day of reminiscing, smiling and laughing about the happy memories we have.
Thank you with all of my heart Sarah, I couldn't have got through it without you, and mum would have been so proud ❤️.”

“Sarah was wonderful from our first contact and conversation about my Dad, consistently sympathetic and thoughtful, to the day of the cremation itself. She was approachable but also very professional.
She put our order of service together, communicated with the funeral directors and also recommended a piper to play at the cremation.
She spoke so well about our Dad at the cremation itself and got the tone just right. Her Scottish borders connection, where our family is from, made it even better.
Highly recommended - thank you Sarah.”
Amanda Hazell
“Sarah you were very understanding from our first meeting, throughout the service and after.
It was an absolute pleasure from the family's point of view to have a celebrant who took control of the service and presented in a clear and confident way and made everyone feel at ease. The touch of the cup of tea was so thoughtful which meant you really had understood the essence of my aunt.
Thank you so much and I will recommend you to anyone who may require your services
With kind regards - Amanda.”
Julie Angell
“I just wanted to drop you another quick thank you.
The service was absolutely heart warming and despite Mum being a particularly private person, you captured her beautifully.
Kind regards - Julie.”
John Phillips
“My family and I were so grateful for everything Sarah did for us during a very difficult time. From our first communication with her to the ceremony she performed for our Mum was everything we wanted and, more importantly, what mum wanted.
Sarah was efficient, professional and compassionate throughout the whole process, making the day go as smoothly as it could.
Thank you once again.”
Mark and Nikki Hall
“Sarah is amazing, such a warm and lovely lady who makes you feel you can talk to her about anything.
Sarah made my brother Paul’s funeral feel special and really got to know us and him, and was able to get that across to everyone on the day.
I would highly recommend Sarah—just a shame it’s for such sad situations.
Thank you, Sarah.”
Terry Hulbert
“I believe Sarah did an absolutely brilliant job. She had Mark down to a tee. It was absolutely great; she was really, really good.”
Annette Cheadle
“Sarah was so lovely. From the moment we first spoke, she was warm, kind, caring, and compassionate.
She spent one and a half hours talking with our family a few weeks before the funeral service to gain a better understanding of who our Dad was. She even found the perfect song for him when we were struggling to choose music. 🎣
Sarah clearly listened to our stories, which was evident in her words during the funeral. Many guests commented on how wonderful she was and how lovely the service felt. Sarah took her time, spoke clearly, and captured Dad and our memories perfectly. Several guests even thought she must have known him herself. She added extra words, gestures, and touches of humour during the service that we were not expecting. This was deeply appreciated by all of us and truly touching. ☕️
Sarah called us the day before the service to check how we were and to reassure us that everything was in order. She has also said she will be in touch over the next few days just to check in. It was a very personal service during a very difficult time.
We would highly recommend Sarah as a Celebrant. She is most certainly in the right career, with her beautifully caring personality.
Well... such a beautiful soul. 💕
Thank you, Sarah. Annette, Mark and Stuart xXx.”

"Sarah came to the house to discuss the order of service for my dad's funeral. We were very nervous, but Sarah put us at ease and understood how we were feeling. She went through everything step by step, slowly and patiently. Nothing was too much trouble, and she made sure we were happy with the final result. She delivered a brilliant service on the day.
We would definitely recommend Sarah for all your needs.
Thank you, Sarah."
Jane Webb
“Sarah was a ray of light at a dark time. She carefully guided us through remembering our loved one in the best possible way we could. Dad had not been himself for a very long time and she brought us a wonderful sense of peace with her translation of our ramblings into a wonderful service which everyone thought showed respect and humour befitting a very private, complex and well respected man.
My family and I would wholeheartedly recommend Sarah for her professionalism and humour as your chosen celebrant for any occasion.”
Smith Family
“Sarah was very helpful and understanding as the celebrant for my mums funeral.
The service was just right.
We would highly recommend Sarah as a celebrant.”
Elliot Family
“What can I say?
Sarah was wonderful understanding, compassionate and understanding.
Her wording was as if she knew our Lisa personally, it was so perfect.
We all appreciated how she conducted the service and we as a family thank her so much.”
Coates Family
“Thank you because the thoughtfulness you show means more than you would ever know.
Thank you so much for your help and support, thank you so much for being there.”
Neal Family
“Sarah was the celebrant for our fathers funeral in August.
Sarah showed great compassion and was extremely caring throughout the time from initial contact and during the service.
She was very supportive to a family member who wanted to read a poem at the service at such an emotional time.”
Minty Family
“Sarah was quite literally the best celebrant we could have hoped for.
She very quickly got the idea of us as a family and made us feel so relaxed and comfortable from the start.
The planning was detailed and she really listened - we felt like she truly cared rather than this just being her day job.
The service which was planned was spot on and she spoke about Bob as if she knew him.
All of us came away feeling we had really had the chance not only to reflect on, but celebrate his life.
We absolutely would recommend her and would like to thank her for making a difficult time so much easier.”
Smith Family
“Absolutely fabulous lady who delivered a service that was our mum to a T.
Sarah was compassionate and listened to every detail we wanted and what we said about mum and put it into words that we couldn't.
Sarah made everything a little easier to bare with her understanding and caring nature.
She gives good hugs too!
Thank you Sarah....I know mum too would thank you if she could.”
I would highly recommend anybody needing a Celebrant to use Sarah.
Thank you very much Sarah for doing a great job.”
Cole Family
“Sarah is a warm, compassionate person who listens to exactly what you need.
Her no pressure, friendly approach put me at ease at a very difficult time.
Her delivery of my mother's funeral service was perfect.
I would highly recommend her.”
Withy Family
“Thank you so much for your thoughtful officiating of dad’s farewell.
The service was such a true reflection of his long life.
My sister and I had many comments from family and friends about your kind and professional manner.”
