Just a few flowers to say thank you for your support on funeral day. This difficult time has brought out kindness in all corners. (On a floral card sent by a lovely lady with dementia whose husband’s funeral I led.)

“Doug conducted my uncle’s funeral.”
Doug conducted my uncle’s funeral. His widow has severe dementia and we were eager for her to be as involved as possible in the funeral ceremony. Doug talked to family members about my uncle and his life and visited my aunt in her care home…
“… She really liked him …”
… She really liked him and she was able to talk to him about her memories. He used quotes from her during the funeral service. Because of this, she took an active role in the service. We could not have achieved such a meaningful farewell for my uncle without Doug’s concern and compassion.
“…a huge thank you for all your care and support …”
I want to say a huge thank you for all your care and support, it was greatly appreciated and M clearly understood what was happening and hopefully will remember bits of the day. Thank you again!
“If you have Doug helping you … you’ll be in very safe hands.”
Doug was kind, caring and really helpful, spending time with the wife of the deceased, who has dementia, making sure that the ceremony met her needs and wishes, I was greatly impressed with the way that Doug conducted the service. If you have Doug helping you … you’ll be in very safe hands.
“… thank you from the bottom of our hearts …”
We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the part you played in making our wedding the most special day of our lives. All of our guests appreciated the efforts you made to cater for both sides of the linguistic spectrum but also the quality of the ceremony.
“… it was an amazing service …”
M’s mother in particular wanted us to make sure that we sent her heartfelt thanks for the beautiful way you conducted our ceremony. Honestly Doug we couldn’t have asked for anything more, it was an amazing service and we feel deeply fortunate that we found you.
“Lovely service today.”
Lovely service today. Loved when everyone turned and waved (to the webcam in the crematorium). Very thoughtful. Thank you.
“… R’s send off was perfectly pitched …”
Many thanks for yesterday, we all felt R’s send off was perfectly pitched and went very smoothly. Your calm and considered approach made us all feel we were in safe hands on what was always going to be an emotionally charged occasion. I’m sure R would agree. Very best wishes from us all.
“It was just as she would have wanted it to be.”
May I thank you again for leading the service for x’s funeral this morning, I really did feel your delivery was excellent, especially as you never knew her in person. It was just as she would have wanted it to be.
