We all know that making funeral arrangements is often a daunting prospect, but we are completely dedicated to helping families plan, organise and arrange a funeral that is relevant, personal and meaningful to both family and friends for the family or friends of the deceased.
This is why we have received many testimonials from our clients, some of which are featured here:
Testimonials
“On behalf of my mother, and my wife, I sincerely thank you for all your kindness, thoughtfulness and compassion shown to us all before, during, and after Dad’s funeral. I was a deeply emotional time for us, and your personal assistance helped us enormously. The planning for Dad’s funeral was so trouble free, all thanks to you. We all had no doubts that everything would not run smoothly on the day with you at the helm, and as thought, it did. The layout and contents of Dad’s service sheet just added the final touch to making Dad’s funeral so memorable for us. Thanks again for all your support”. L.T. Cashes Green, Stroud.
“The whole family would like to thank you again for all your help at such a difficult time in our lives. We would also like to praise all the effort you put in to help us make the funeral service one to be remembered. So many people commented on how lovely it was and so typically “G“… Even the hymn we didn’t know the words or the tune to!”
“I must say that I was extremely impressed how when Poppy the little infant finally was taken out of the chapel you made the whole situation ‘inclusive’ by gently referring to it in a positive, and kind manner … well done! Most people would have just breathed a sigh of relief. We all did!I have studied and worked for many years in war zones negotiating cease fires and crossing the front lines …. so I know that you are good. However when it comes to my own siblings, very interestingly it is a different matter.” C.B. Stow on the Wold.
“You’ve been a precious friend to us”. J. F. Cheltenham.
“I’d also like to thank you for the sensitive way that you dealt with B. I was very impressed, and it is something that will remain with me for a long time to come. You will be pleased to know that I am recommending you to everyone!” C.W. Nailsworth.
“Many thanks for your advice and considerate organisation of my father’s funeral. We were very pleased we gave him such a personal and memorable funeral.” L.S. Kings Stanley.
“I am so glad to have had your kindly and helpful support over the past couple of years whilst I have been preparing for Mum’s death. My sister and I found your gentle, low-key, but professional presence during the closing of the coffin – and throughout the funeral – very reassuring, and we both thank you most sincerely for making the experience one of great calm and peace.” Dr. B. W. Malvern.
“A sincere thank you; if we lived nearer I would have no hesitation in saying I would leave my ‘final arrangements’ to you and your more than capable company.” HB Lugwardine, Hereford.
“We were all extremely happy with your arrangements for Mum’s funeral – she left clear instructions for some of the main details and I believe we complied with them in a dignified and intimate way. I have not attended many funeral ceremonies in my life but I believe we all felt that we could not have done more to make it a more meaningful occasion and one in which we all could make a personal contribution. I think it can be too easy to be a superficial participant. I thank you again for your discrete participation.” D.O. Kings Stanley.
“Thank you for making things as painless as possible under the circumstances. We especially appreciated your carefully re-making J’s bed, and putting her teddy bear peeking out over the covers – we knew you would be taking the greatest care with her too, after she had left the house.” M.P. Edge.
“I do want to thank you for all that you did for our family around M’s death. You were so imaginative and helpful in dealing with the practical difficulties posed by the deep snow, and your insight and tact in steering us towards making decisions were of inestimable help. You seemed to know what would be right for our family immediately and intuitively, and this was hugely helpful when we were all feeling topsey turvey. So this comes with another round of thanks and applause for providing us with such a sensitive and helpful service.” L.F. Bisley.
“Thank you for looking after me and the rest of my family so sensitively during my dear father’s funeral. We could not have been in better hands. You gave us wise direction, as well as comfort – and you enabled us to devise a funeral for P that meant a huge amount to us all.” J.C. Avening.
“I wish to thank you for co-ordinating S’s funeral. You did a terrific job, and Friday was perfect. Between us, I think we did S proud. Thanks again for easing the burden.” H.G. Slad
“Thank you. Thank you for making what could have been a nightmare very beautiful. You inspired us to be creative and to truly celebrate our daddy openly, and we are all very grateful to you for that. It is profound and beautiful to turn sad introspection into theatrical celebration – and that was in fact the essence of our father. He would have loved it! Thank you for your patience and kindness.” H.B. Bath.
“I wanted to say how pleased SC’s family and I have been with the service you have been giving us throughout the previous few weeks. This was the first time I have been involved with arranging a funeral, and all aspects were conducted in a sensitive and professional manner. I also received several compliments about Family Tree from the mourners who attended the service at Cheltenham Crematorium.” P.J. Stroud
“I am sure you will hear this so many times, but in a strange way that I cannot really explain it gives me comfort that you had looked after his body and gave dignity to his end and to us all.” C.O. Nailsworth.
“Incredible, yesterday. Most splendid funeral I have ever attended, and unfortunately I have attended many. Thank you again. I know you made my granddaughter happy. She is a different girl today, much more positive, and going back to college next week ……….your “send-off” for her mother did something wonderful for her.” R. Stroud.
