Words of Appreciation

“Thank you so very much for taking the service on Friday. You did AN INCREDIBLE job, and I had so many people asking about you and also saying what a wonderful job you did. There were some who even wanted to speak to you. Many even said it's the best memorial that they had ever been to.”

“Hi Allie, I am just sitting quietly and thinking about Mum's funeral yesterday. I am so pleased you were the celebrant recommended by Dil's. Mum would have loved you and the service you arranged for her.  Your kind, compassionate manner suited the close family environment and allowed us to relax and farewell Mum in our own way. I know the angels are surrounding her with peace and love.”

“I just wanted to thank you for delivering a truly beautiful service for my dad. I was so pleased that yesterday was a celebration of my Dad’s life that focused on his many achievements and wonderful qualities, his remarkable life and all of the wonderful memories we have of him. The whole essence/tone/vibe was on point. Thank you for your professionalism and for being so easy to work with during this time of complex emotions.

“Allie, I have been reflecting on people who have made a positive difference in my life this year, and your name came to mind. You were the celebrant at my mum’s memorial service in August, Raewyn, and also at my dear school friend’s service, Sandi, also in August. You were wonderful to deal with and made things run seamlessly at a very difficult time. Thank you for making a positive difference for our family.”

“I want to say thank you for the wonderful job you did for our family in being celebrant for Mum’s Funeral service. You led and set the tone of the service perfectly and helped us make it into a fitting celebration of her life. Thank you for listening to us and guiding us through this process. You certainly made it easier for us, and made us feel that nothing was too much trouble. I am so happy that you were recommended to us. You are such a genuine and sincere person.”

— Sheena

We are so grateful for the care, compassion, and calm presence you brought during such a difficult time. Having you walk alongside us and honour Dad in the way you did was incredibly comforting, and something we will always remember. Thank you again for everything. No one could have done a better service for Dad.

“Hi Allie, I didn’t get to see you after dad’s service yesterday and I wanted to say a big thank you on behalf of Gareth and myself for the lovely service you ran for Dad. We were really happy with how it went, your care and empathy throughout the service was wonderful. I think Dad would have been proud and I think he would have loved his celebration and send off.”

“Kia ora Allie

Just a quick message to say a HUGE thank you for the lovely service you just led for our Dad, Gerry.

You pulled all that together very professionally and with love. ‘Thank You’ seems like inadequate words.”
