Hi Ged

It is just over a week since you conducted the funeral of my mom, Sheila Robeson.
I would like to thank you for the lovely way you conducted the service and for encouraging us all to put so much of our personal content into the service, such as poems, music & tributes.

The words of the song by Cilla Black, You are my world, that Ken chose, is constantly running through my brain!!

Many thanks.

Kind regards

Hi Ged,
I just wanted to say a massive "Thankyou" for the lovely service you gave for Steve yesterday.
it was amazing all that we wanted for him and more.

It was such a lovely day, everyone I spoke to commented on the beautiful words and poem.

All the family just wanted to thankyou.
I'm keeping a memory box for Steve and I going to add a copy of the eulogy you wrote. It was so lovely; it would be nice for us all to read and reflect on later.

Many thanks

Michelle

Hi Ged
On behalf of the whole family, I wanted to say thank you for the excellent tribute you paid to Dad (Dennis Ryan) on Friday.
We had many people come up to us afterwards to share what a lovely and touching service it was and how brilliantly you delivered it. You were able to really capture who Dad was and what was important to him during his life and cleverly incorporate the music he loved; we believe Dad would have been very happy with the service.
Thank you also for accommodating last minute changes, we hope it didn't cause you too much trouble. Also for your care and attention in making a very difficult day become a celebration of Dad.

Best wishes

I was asked to make this funeral not a funeral but a farewell send off as the Gentleman hated funeral service. I received this message after the service. x

Hi Ged,
I wanted to thank you for your help with the funeral service for my father.
So many people, both at the service and watching online, commented to me that it was the best funeral they'd attended!
Thanks to you for your advice and help in guiding me through a difficult day.

Kindest regards,
Becky

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
