Celebrant Ceremonies Kent

On behalf of our family, I just wanted to write and say a huge thank you to you for yesterday. You were incredibly kind, sincere and genuine and clearly had spent a great deal of time absorbing all that we had said to you about Dad. I know we had strict time constraints on us and that must have made it very difficult for you – but you made if feel that we had all the time in the world. You made the funeral as joyous as it could be which is exactly what Dad would have wanted.

As I said yesterday, the greatest compliment we can give you is that Dad would have liked the service and he would have loved you.

We are so grateful that it was you that led the service and we will forever remember the difference you made.

Deborah, thank you for conducting a beautiful service for my father. You created a fitting tribute and many people complimented the service and especially your choice of poem. You made a challenging day much easier. Thank you again.

Deborah is truly an amazing lady, she has such a lovely way about her and makes you feel totally at ease. She conducted the ceremonies for my Mum, Dad and my wife, which were all excellent, they were delivered with such warmth and understanding. I cannot thank Deborah enough.

All my friends and family thought the services were all lovely and so well delivered. I would highly recommend Deborah

Deborah I just want to say you were amazing. From Saturday when we first met you, to when you walked out yesterday all colour coded with us & Nan, to your heart felt reading, and the tear in your eye. Everyone commented on what a beautiful service we all gave her, so again I just want to say a massive Thank you from all our family

I wanted to get in touch with you straight away to thank you for your kindness and sensitivity and your wonderful interpretation of my auntie's life. I knew you would be the perfect choice to lead the ceremony and my family and friends couldn’t praise you highly enough.

Our day was filled with sadness and joy and reminiscing and you played a huge part making it a beautiful memory. Thank you once again for everything, the day would not of been the same without you.

Deborah conducted a lovely service for our mum Joan she helped us through this sad time and we thank her, everyone there said she was really good at conducting the ceremony.

Deborah conducted my Mum’s funeral and she truly is a fantastic lady. From our first meeting until after the service she was there for me always at the end of the phone or an e-mail.

She has a very kind and comforting manner and made the most awful task manageable.

Thank you so much Deborah.

Deborah is very good at getting the balance right between all the elements. She works very hard to make the most of every precious moment that you get at the service; and is ready to take over if anyone feels they can't manage to speak.

We all felt very comfortable handing over to her and she understood our needs perfectly - she even spoke a few French words for our relatives from across the water! It was a wonderful, very moving service with a touch of humour, which Mum would have absolutely loved.

Thank you Deborah!

Just a note to thank you so much for the guidance and assistance that you provided in helping her family, friends and me to say a final farewell to my lovely Joyce.

From the moment that we met you, Joyce's sister and I were put at ease by your obvious kindness, sympathy and concern. The final Eulogy, together with the Service that you delivered, were so relevant to the way that Joyce lived her life; she would have loved it.

You made it a lovely day for a lovely lady. Well done.

Deborah conducted the funeral service for my husband Richard and it was lovely.

She came to the house to meet me and his brothers and sisters and was very kind. She turned our memories into a truly fitting tribute and everyone there came away feeling really uplifted. Thank you again for making it so special, I know Richard would have been proud.

I would like to say Thank you so much Deborah for all your help. You made us feel comfortable when you visited our home to find out our memories of my nan Doris. Your words on the day were so lovely and you knew where to throw in a few laughs.

It really was such a beautiful service and you spoke so lovely and with such a warm tone. I am so pleased you helped us say good bye to Doris in such a lovely way. I really loved the ceremony copy afterwards, that was so thoughtful and such a lovely keepsake.

Michael & I would like to thank you so much, Deborah, for the ceremony you conducted for our uncle, Laurie Blaber. Although it was a sad occasion you managed to lighten it. It was such a warm comforting service where you spoke about Laurie as if you too had known him. The delivery was exactly the way we wanted it to be and the chosen poem about books reflected the way Laurie felt about his books.

All of our family thought it was lovely and very appropriate.

I would just like to thank you again for the wonderful ceremony and farewell you gave my husband Steve. Even though you had never met him you managed to express him so well.

From our first meeting i instantly felt at ease with you. I knew you would deliver exactly what i wanted, and you did just that.

Thank you again Deborah.

I would like to thank Deborah for preparing and delivering such a beautiful service for my daughter Karen’s funeral. It was personalised as if Deborah had known Karen herself. Deborah is a very compassionate and understanding person who made us feel at ease and was extremely helpful and accommodating throughout, especially with regard to various changes we requested to the service and Eulogy. All those who attended Karen’s funeral commented on what a lovely service it was. I would have no hesitation in recommending Deborah to conduct a celebration of a loved one’s life.

Deborah conducted the service for my mother. From the moment I met her to the day of the service she took time to get to know about us and my mother and make sure everything was just as my mother would have wanted it to be. She carried out her own research into matters relating to my mother’s life to include these in the service.

She even came up with 2 poems which were fitting to my mother and her life. Family and friends were very impressed with the service and commented on this. Deborah is kind, caring and highly recommended.

Deborah. You were there for me from the organisation of the service through to the delivery of such a beautiful "Celebration" of my husband's life. You made what was a difficult time so much easier and you were at the end of the phone if necessary. I don't think people understand how insecure and lonely it can be, but you made it so much easier.

The ceremony was beautiful and was delivered with much feeling and consideration for everyone.

You even wore attire that matched the colours of my husband's team which he had requested everyone wear. You were magnificent. Thank you for your kindness and consideration during such a difficult time.

You are a credit to your profession and I am so thankful that you were there for me, my family and friends to Celebrate my husbands life.

I myself & my family would like to say a special thank you to Deborah for such a beautiful service. From the day Deborah came to visit me at my home I knew instantly she was the right lady to conduct the service for my late dad Ron.

She managed to make me feel at ease, from the information I gave her and what she picked up on when we were talking, she put together such a wonderful service, the service had both sadness and humour, I'm so very glad that it was Deborah that conducted my dads service.

Thank you for preparing and delivering such a great eulogy for my Dad and for the way you conducted the service. Our family all commented on how well the service went and how they felt it was a lovely and accurate reflection of my Dad.

Thank you Deborah for such a wonderful ceremony you did for Brian. It was so nice to capture moments of his life and relay them so beautifully. We loved the apt football verse and the kind words you spoke about Brian. Everyone thought the service was so good and some went on to say 'it was the best funeral they had attended'.

You're an absolute natural doing this and make a difficult and sad situation so much more bearable.

I would definitely recommend Deborah. She was very easy to talk to in a difficult time and the outcome was a lovely ceremony for my dear mum. Everybody remarked how well Deborah had picked out things in my mums life that resonated with them. Thank you Deborah.

On behalf of my Mum, Sister and myself, we would like to take sometime to say how wonderful we think Deborah is.

She came to visit us at a very sad and difficult time, she was instantly warm, caring and very compassionate, she is kind and nothing was ever a problem for her when we phoned or emailed regarding our dear dad's ceremony.

Deborah is truly a beautiful person inside and out and we feel she was absolutely the best person to conduct our dad's celebration of life.

We feel even though she never met our dad, it was like she had known him and we have had lots of feedback and comments from family and friends who attended saying how wonderful her words were.

Don't ever hesitate to book Deborah to help your loved ones farewell because we truly feel she is special and a real precious gem.

I couldn't manage to read my speech on the day and had told Deborah only the day before if she could read it for me if I couldn't, she read it through my eyes and she was outstanding.

Highly, highly recommend.

Many thanks for everything

I'd like to thank Deborah for such a lovely service for my Mum. Many people said afterwards just how good the service was and this was partly due to the way Deborah led and organised the service. It was as she had actually known my Mum for years. The service was made really personal.

Deborah met us prior to the service and couldn't have been more helpful. She made us all feel at ease and took all the stress away of organising the service. After meeting her we felt confident she would deliver a great service and help give my Mum a good send off. Deborah did exactly that. Id highly recommend her to anyone.

I cannot thank Deborah enough for the wonderful ceremony that she provided for my Mother. Although I live in Somerset and was unable to meet with her before the day, she took the trouble to ring me and have a long conversation over the phone to coax and cajole the memories of my Mother and her life from me. She then produced a draft of the service including a lovely choice in music and was extremely patient when I asked for a few amendments.

When we met for the first time just before the ceremony at the crematorium she greeted me warmly and put me at ease and, again, at the end she made sure that everything was ok.

The whole experience from start to finish was very comforting and several people commented afterwards on the content of the service and how fitting the music was.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Deborah to anyone who is looking for a non religious service for their loved ones but to still have one that is filled with love and respect for the deceased.

Thank you Deborah for everything you did for me and my family to help turn a sad day into one of celebration for my dearly departed Mum.

On behalf of the family I just wanted to say a very big thank you to Deborah for her kindness and compassion at this sad time. From the moment she contacted me and then came to see us to talk about Mum; Deborah was warm and kindhearted. The service was just wonderful. When I arrived at the crematorium, Deborah came out and hugged me and again at the end of the service. It was like having a long standing friend being by your side. So many family and friends came up to me and said how beautiful the service was and how lovely Deborah was. Thank you Deborah for all that you have done and how you have really helped us at this really sad time.

Deborah delivered a wonderful service for our son Gary. Her voice was pitched perfectly between sadness and celebration. The story of his life was interesting, amusing and exactly the right length. All of our friends and family were delighted and had only positive comments about the service. Gary would have been very pleased.

Deborah's calm and concerned approach helped to ease our worries during this traumatic period and for this we thank her dearly.

We met for the first time on Friday and yet it was as if I already knew you well. My family had told me about your kindness towards them and understanding of the truly tragic and sad passing of dear Jane.

I like to add my personal thanks to you for composing such a thoughtful and insightful eulogy. Delivered in such an uplifting manner that even the most grief stricken of us managed to raise a smile and laugh at some point. I particularly liked the reference to how much all the nieces and nephews, first and second, looked up to Jane - what a long list of names!

Thank you again for making what was always going to be a truly sad day bearable for all of us there and for making sure of a fitting send off for our dear sister Jane.

My family and I would like to thank Deborah for making a difficult time much easier. From the moment we met Deborah her warmth shone through. After the initial meeting and the draft service I was very touched and it was clear that there was a real understanding of my Aunt, it was though Deborah had met her.

My son came in part way through the meeting and commented afterwards that he immediately felt warmth and compassion and very comfortable. So many people commented on the lovely service and how it portrayed the real character of my Aunt.

I would most definitely recommend Deborah to conduct a service to celebrate a life of a loved one. Thank you so much you're a star.

I felt very comfortable when Deborah visited me at home to find out the personal details about my husband. She made it very easy to look back on our life together and to remember things we had shared. She was always very willing to change or alter any little detail.

On the day of the celebration Deborah conducted it with warmth and understanding and made what was a very sad day that little bit easier. Everybody who attended the ceremony commented on the way it was conducted by Deborah.

I would definitely recommend Deborah to anyone seeking a celebrant ceremony.

My family and I would like to thank Deborah for the lovely service she conducted for my son Nigel. From her visit to myself and my youngest son at home, she made it so easy for us to talk about Nigel's life.

She conducted the ceremony with understanding and feeling, and it was all about his life.

Family and friends were very impressed by the service.

We cannot thank Deborah enough for making such a sad occasion very memorable.
