“Doug was so helpful, guiding us all the way …”

Doug was so helpful, guiding us all the way through the process and giving us practical advice. He … did our Dad proud and despite the sadness of the event, it was so meaningful and moving. We have been left feeling positive about the sending off we gave our Dad …

“We would give a million of points to Doug …”

We would give a million of points to Doug if we could! The celebration went way beyond our expectations, it was tailored to perfection and so personal and simply beautiful. Everyone commented on how lovely it was, and the double language was much appreciated 🖤not a single dry eye!

“We are so grateful for your patience and professionalism …”

Would like to thank Doug for his support & kindness after the passing of our Dad/Husband D, he listened, wrote & delivered a wonderful tribute & service that was warm and compassionate to celebrate his life. We are so grateful for your patience and professionalism, thank you.

“We think he would have approved.”

Just a quick note to say thanks for today. Everyone agreed that today absolutely reflected what and who E was. There was no mistaking. We think he would have approved.

“You did a wonderful job …”

You did a wonderful job and that atmosphere was in part due to your excellent delivery of S’s story. We were all very pleased with her farewell service and I’m sure she would have been too. Thank you again for your time and dedication.

“Doug, honestly no words …”

Doug, honestly no words, we all just appreciate you today for everything running smoothly and sounding the way we wanted it to, I know thank you sounds weird, but…

“Thanks Doug …”

Thanks Doug and again for the lovely service on Monday. It was really good to be able to invite family and friends to join us from around the world.

“Doug has a voice that you could listen to all day …”

The service itself was perfect from start to finish, Doug has a voice that you could listen to all day his tone and delivery was just perfect. … It was nice to attend a service where the whole time was spent talking about my sister and not trying to push religion down our throats.

“Douglas has been a true professional …”

From 1st contact through to the service and subsequent follow up email Douglas has been a true professional … He visited my sister’s husband at home spending time with him and discussing his wishes … he kept me informed and gathered history and information to base the service on.

“… it was beautifully written.”

Thank you very much for the copy of H’s funeral service. We thought it was beautifully written. It was accurate, appropriate and balanced in composition. Thank you so much for all the effort and attention to detail you put in to give H a beautiful send off for his family.
