I wanted first of all to thank you Ged for helping to create the perfect atmosphere for Shirley’s funeral.
At the wake, family and friends felt that the ceremony had been a fine celebration of her life.

Also, I would be grateful if you Jodie could pass on my thanks to the Funeral Director, Victoria, and her team . Their warm, efficient and sympathetic approach was greatly valued.

Finally, thanks to both of you for your helpful preparatory work. The arrangements worked perfectly.

With all good wishes

Dear Ged,
I just wanted to thank you for your part in Stephen’s funeral last Friday as I didn’t get time to speak to you in the cloudburst outside the cemetery!
You did a fantastic job of co-ordinating the contribution from the family and really spoke as though you knew him!
Thanks again,
Helen (Eldest Sister)

Dear Ged,

Just a little note to thank you again for conducting Betty’s Funeral Service on Tuesday and also for your guidance throughout. It was lovely to be greeted by your friendly face as we arrived at the Crematorium during that heavy snow shower!

We have received many compliments saying it was a lovely service and we were so pleased that Jim was able to participate so well - thank you again for the organisation that went behind everything.

With our Very best Wishes and sincere appreciation,

G and T

It’s always nice to get surprise gifts at Christmas. I got pneumonia.😂

I just want to say thank you so much for organising everything today for Mums celebration of life.
Knowing that you had written down what I wanted to say today took a lot of pressure off me and at the same time made me even more determined to say it myself. What you said was brilliant, extremely fitting - it felt like you really knew my mum. You are clearly very talented in what you do which was for me a great comfort.
Thank you so much.

Good afternoon Ged,
I just wanted to say thank you again for conducting dad's service yesterday at Enfield crematorium, you did a fantastic job and mum was ever so pleased how it all turned out which is just what we wanted.
Funerals can be a stressful time with so much to plan and sort out but everything on the day went smoothly and mum got to give the dad the send off she wanted so once again thank you for your part in making that all happen.
Kind regards, Andrew
