TESTIMONIAL ALERT!

Delighted to read this today on another rainy, cold day... I love my job.

David, I never thought I’d ever say such a thing: Best Funeral Ever! Personal, sensitive, inclusive, relaxed, tender, supportive encouraging and uplifting. You have found your calling...

FEATHERS by Donna Ashworth

I sent you a little white feather
I placed it right there in your way
I wrapped it in love with a message
to let you know you’ll be okay

I drew you a colourful rainbow
It followed your car for a while
I made a spectacular rainbow
I hoped it would show me your smile

I flew down a beautiful robin
It landed right there on your ledge
I prayed he would give you
the strength to push yourself back from the edge

I try every day to remind you
that I never did go away
the feathers, the rainbows, the robins
are my way of trying to stay.

"David led my Mum’s funeral, and I have to say the way in which he did so was a huge comfort. Tasteful, respectful and full of reflection on the life we were celebrating. I would highly recommend David - he was quite wonderful. For a day I dreaded and got incredibly anxious about, he provided great comfort and made a very difficult day much more easier to navigate for us as a family”.

Every funeral is unique.

For some families, a faith leader will guide the service. For others, a celebrant helps to create a ceremony that reflects personal stories, values and traditions.

We're proud to work alongside professionals like David Steer - Civil Celebrant, who support families in shaping services that feel right for them. Whether that's rooted in faith, guided by ritual, or focused on the individual life being remembered.

Together, we ensure every farewell in Cardiff is thoughtful, personal and inclusive of all beliefs 💛

The Chapel Entry was to: "Flowers of the Forest" (with singular parts).

The Chapel Exit was to: "Danny Boy", "When Irish Eyes are Smiling", "The Isle of Innisfree" & a Piobaireachd Salute.

Our Condolences to the family. Working alongside the very professional Martyn & his team of W James & Sons Funeral Directors of

Thinking of all the individuals and families I have been able to support within my work this year.

Try not to be too sad about those we have lost - remember, as special as Christmas is, their memories and vibrations are always with us for the other 364 days of the year.

Allow yourself to smile, and be thankful for those that still care about you.

Happy Christmas.

For Dad, Nan and Mam... 🎅🎅🎅

This melts me. People are so very kind…

David, I just wanted to let you know how very pleased we are with the phenomenal funeral service you provided for our lovely Mum.

As a family are so grateful. You turned an event, which I have dreaded for as long as I can remember, into a very special celebration of a wonderful life.

At the wake afterwards, so many friends and family commented on the fact the service was so beautiful, most commenting that it was the best funeral they have ever attended.

The compliments given about your talent to deliver were amazing! We all felt so uplifted.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

David
It feels very surreal but, after 2 months in the UK and waiting to go to the terminal for my flight back to Perth I finally have time to reflect.
It really has been a journey within journeys and we are so grateful that you played a part in bringing our family together, supporting a loving and living memory of our Mother, Joan.
Your presence, your reassuring manner and your beautiful, resonant voice; which delivered the words that we had chosen in memory of Mum, all created a truly beautiful, memorial service.
Thank you...
