Testimonials - What my clients have to say.
"I wanted to write to you to say thank you so much for making what promised to be the worst day of all our lives, bearable and memorable in a way that my husband would have loved. My greatest sadness was that he could not be there to enjoy it and meet up with so many people that he had made an impact on in his life. You were instrumental in helping everything go smoothly so we did not need to think about anything other than him."
"Thanks Ruth, I think everyone thought it was a very good balance between religious and civil. Above all, it was personal and meaningful."
"A quick message from me to say a massive thank you to you for making the service for my partner yesterday so successful. You led the service beautifully, with great compassion, and you organised me into getting things ready and set out extremely well. I have heard nothing but praise for how you led the service."
"I just wanted to thank you for all your help and patience in arranging my husband's funeral. So many of our friends and family have said what a different and lovely service it was which for us was all down to your advice and guidance."
"Ruth is very professional and punctual, but is also very relaxed, and was able to put us at ease at a sad and difficult time. She listened carefully while we discussed my dad, and she helped us to deliver a very fitting and personal eulogy. It was a perfect send off thanks to all the hard work she put in, turning around our edits and clarifications at very short notice. I would thoroughly recommend Ruth as a celebrant to anybody that would like a custom and personal funeral service for their loved one."

We felt very much at ease with her, and happy to share my Dad's stories with her. She was great at communication, and on the day she naturally and very gently steered the event. We can't praise her highly enough."
