Karen was very professional but also natural and empathetic. Her approach ensured my daughter and I had the ceremony we wanted and her guidance was sensitive and constructive when we were uncertain.
Karen's presentation in the chapel was natural but professional with the correct amount of emphasis where appropriate and an effective sense of timing.
Thank you Karen.

Karen guided us through Mum’s funeral with such genuine compassion. On a day when emotions were overwhelming and nothing felt steady, her presence made a real difference. She has a rare gift for understanding each member of the family and their respective needs, quickly tuning it into what matters most and leading the service with remarkable care and gentleness.Throughout the planning , Karen made sure everyone’s voice was heard. She worked closely with us to create a ceremony that truly reflected who Mum was, and ensured the farewell felt both personal and deeply respectful to each one of us. We are so grateful for the warmth and empathy she brought to such a difficult moment, thank you Karen.
Karen absolutely lovely lady and did us proud with a beautiful ceremony. Can’t speak highly enough and made a very emotional day bearable … thank you again Karen
The lovely Karen was the celebrant for our Mum’s funeral, we couldn’t have asked for a more caring, helpful person. Karen made sure we were happy with everything from start to finish before the funeral day. She took her time to make sure everything was exactly as we wanted. Karen sent through what was going to be said so we were prepared beforehand, which made things a bit easier on the day. She even checked in with us the day after the funeral, which was a nice touch. Very professional celebrant with a great personality. Highly recommend Karen for any occasion.
Karen was very attentive in the preparations for my brothers funeral and she has a very natural warmth and empathy - much appreciated at a most difficult time .
Karen was very kind and understanding as our celebrant for mums funeral. Karen guided us as a family through the service inch by inch carefully giving the family time to think and make our own choices, to ensure a perfect result for all. I would not hesitate to recommend Karen with her wonderful expertise as a celebrant.
Karen was lovely and showed great compassion when my sister and I were feeling so sad and vulnerable. Our Mums funeral was exactly as we wanted and the eulogy Karen wrote for it was perfect and made it feel that she brought my Mum back to me for a few precious moments.
