Having taken services before - I was honoured to have been requested to help a family say farewell to a beautiful lady.

Alongside a bespoke written tribute, her family shared some personal words and with a pictorial tribute they can be proud as it was just perfect.

Thank you Paul, Victoria and all the team for your excellent care. An absolute honour to have been part of their journey 🌸

“Every so often, a person crosses our path and they seem to bend the light a little - not through a need to be seen, or because they are perfect, but because they are unmistakably, unapologetically themselves. Even though the brightest diamonds carry their flaws; it’s their brilliance we remember”

Even though he was young his was an amazing story to share. A bespoke written tribute, five speakers, a photo tribute and both chapels full showed the love. His sons and family were so brave.

His friend Nathan Gill Carriage Driving brought him on his final journey by horse drawn. The horses looked amazing. 💙

Also thank you to Phillip and all the team for your excellent care and compassion.

Some days as a celebrant the journey is harder. 😢

Monday afternoon I was honoured to help my own family create the perfect story for baby Marlie. 💙

Such a precious and beautiful little boy, who left us at one day old. He had an incredible journey to share of love and adventure with his mummy and daddy.

His service was held in the beautiful church with heartfelt prayers and readings led by Rev Vicky, I shared a reading and his tribute, before we took him to his eternal resting place.

Thank you to Rev Vicky for your kindness, also to Adrian and the team for your excellent care and compassion at such a difficult time. 💜

He was perfect in every way - Feel humbled and honoured to have been able to be part of his journey and to have met him in person.

Having been contacted directly by family, over several weeks we crafted the perfect service for a much loved gentleman.

With people connected in the uk and overseas, there were two hymns, two pieces of music, a pictorial tribute, two bible readings, a poem and a beautiful heartfelt written tribute.

Thank you Andrew and all the team at Highfields Funeral Directors for your excellent care.

This afternoon my journey brought me back to the beautiful St Patrick’s Church, Huddersfield where we
provided our bespoke livestream services, enabling those overseas to watch and feel included.

What an incredible honour to be trusted with this role. The church is undergoing extensive renovations and we need to help in whatever way we can - as a guest we always feel the love and I always like to make a donation.

Thank you Darren and all the team for your exceptional care.

It is always an honour to be one of your chosen celebrants. Thank you for all you do. 💜

Meet Rebecca Boothroyd ☺️

“Since 2019 I’ve been working alongside the team at Bensons Funeral Services.

Throughout this time, I have witnessed first-hand the unwavering compassion, professionalism, and care all the team brings to every family they support. Adrian and Julie Benson always go above and beyond and have supported myself through many of my own family bereavements.

Their attention to detail and genuine empathy creates an environment where families feel supported during some of life’s most difficult moments.

As one of their chosen celebrants, it is an honour to collaborate with such a dedicated team, working together to create heartfelt and memorable ceremonies.

The trust they place in me, and the seamless way we work, has made every service a meaningful experience for families, providing not only celebrancy, but also live-streaming and photo tributes.

I am grateful for the relationship we have built over the years and look forward to continuing our work together, helping local families celebrate and honour the lives of their loved ones with dignity and care”
