Testimonials

Entrusting someone with something as special as a memorial service or funeral for your loved one can feel daunting. Below are some of the kind words and feedback I’ve received from families I’ve had the honour and privilege of working with . . .

'I just wanted to say a massive thank you for all that you did for Jim’s celebration of life last Friday. From initially coming to our home and hearing our stories, to putting them in your words so eloquently and uplifting. The empathy you afforded both me and the family through this whole stressful period was made so much easier, thanks to you. Everyone who joined us on the day spoke so highly of you and how amazing and uplifting the service was, many asked if you knew Jim personally! A credit to you Louisa and I have just one word – Perfect! Whoever gets you next, even under sad circumstances, will be very lucky. Once again, my thanks and gratitude for everything you did, especially for me.' - AT, May 2025

'On behalf of the family I wanted to thank you for all that you did in the preparation of and the leadership of our Mum's funeral. From our initial meeting we all felt that you understood us and what we wanted to achieve. You listened to us and helped us to create what was a really fitting tribute to our Mum. Thank you for taking the time to talk about children and funerals. What you said, and your approach to the whole service made it a very safe place for us all to be. Your gentle, calm approach to the celebration was recognised by everyone who attended and was very much appreciated.' - CN, July 2025

'I'd just like to say how grateful my mum, my brothers and I are for how you gently guided us through dad's funeral. I immediately felt reassured by your warmth and professionalism on our first call, and I know mum was equally delighted with that first meeting. On the day, we felt able to be ourselves because you gave us everything we needed: attention to our thoughts, a script which reflected our beliefs and wishes and a calming, compassionate way of being. We know that dad would have been incredibly impressed by you and grateful for the support you gave us. Thank you so much again.' - AN, July 2025

'From our first contact, Louisa’s help in planning and delivering my Dad’s funeral was perfect. She gently guided us through the process and listened to our wishes with deep respect. Louisa accommodated everything we wanted to make happen and helped to make Dad’s funeral truly personal and beautiful. We are very grateful that we got to remember him with such grace. Thank you Louisa.' - KE, September 202
