Kathleen Collins - Funeral Celebrant

What I do is not a job. It's a vocation, which I happened upon rather late in life. 🫢

Dear Kathy
Thank you for the way in which you conducted my mother's funeral.
It was a ceremony that she would have approved of, with dignity, courtesy and proper respect.
We are grateful to you for supporting us through this period, and appreciate your kindness and humanity during this time.

With best wishes

Please do not release balloons. Keep them at home and let them fade away safely.

A little spot for a personal battery recharge. Paradise on a Sunday 👌

Unexpected but perfect timing. A little boost from a family I met a few weeks ago. 😊

Sometimes, there may be hurdles in the way. It's the way you approach them, that matters.
A lovely thank you received, for one of those occasions. 💝
'Dear Kathy,

I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the beautiful and professional way you conducted the funeral service. It was a difficult day with everything going on, and your ability to navigate such a delicate situation with grace and compassion made all the difference.

Your thoughtful words, the way you honoured X memory, and the warmth you brought to the ceremony provided great comfort to us. It was clear that you put a lot of care and consideration into every detail, and it truly resonated with us carers.

Thank you for helping us celebrate X life in such a meaningful way. Your professionalism and empathy were evident, and we are deeply appreciative of the support you provided during this challenging time.

With heartfelt thanks,

There are days you want to start again whilst you are travelling through them. I've just had one. Decided in my infinite wisdom, I had a fluffy area no one else had noticed - 5 mins later it was a raging red beacon. Two services to take and a blight on the landscape 🥹 My banking app had not taken well to being moved from old phone to new phone, 3 hissy fits later I had to take a trip to the bank. I parked up in town and used the parking app. Great, piece of cake, when you check you have the right vehicle in the drop down list 😫Two payments later my vehicle was legally parked 😤 10 mins later two really helpful ladies had sorted my issues and I have a working banking app.
By the end of the day I was slightly frazzled and I'm sure, so were my colleagues who had suffered having to listen to my woes! But my spirits were raised considerably by my lovely families thanks - Even off days have a silver lining -
"Just wanted to say big thankyou for conducting XX service yesterday in a kind and passionate way, We all felt very at ease in your presence, it wasn't an easy time for any of us, and you just helped in taking some of that pain away" & "Thank you for a lovely service, did mum proud."
