Testimonials

I lost my little Brother Nick earlier this year and when facing life’s difficult moments, you need many things: understanding, support, compassion but also knowledge, professionalism and sense of purpose. Mark delivered on all these areas and more. Between us we delivered the service I wanted for someone so special to me, and Mark’s natural dignity helped make one of my most difficult days a day of a life celebrated, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you Mark.

Marks sensitivity, compassion, patience and talent as a celebrant made arranging a funeral and grieving so much easier. A lovely man who did a wonderful job. We knew we were in safe hands from the get go.

Oh, Mark, thank you so much for yesterday, it went perfectly, you, my friend (oh yes, you are on my friendship list) were wonderful.  Mum would have adopted you on the spot! I’m sure you get offered this a lot, but if you ever had the time (or the wish) please call in, you would be most welcome. Please let us know when you’re next performing (not a funeral – we‘re not that desperate to go out!), but theatre-wise.  You’ve created a bit of a fan base with my family. Once again, we couldn’t have done it without you! you were just what was needed to get through a difficult day. Take care and enjoy!!

Another wonderful Five Star review of my Funeral Celebrant services *****

Thank you so much Mark. You spent time listening and understanding what Dad meant to us all. The service was conducted with sensitivity and humour, which was just perfect. A fitting tribute to a wonderful and very loved Dad, husband, Grandad and Step Grandad.

We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant for our mother’s funeral service than Mark. He spent time to get to know mums life and delivered a wonderful, personal service of which many of the attendees commented on. He was always professional and compassionate.

We renewed our Wedding Vows on our Crystal Anniversary ( 15th) A private one just for us.
We could not have been happier ! Mark is amazing, such a personable, enthusiastic Celebrant, wanting to get to know the US and our story to tailor our ceremony perfectly. Throughout got to know us so well and what we were about as a couple. He made the Service so personal to us, it was perfect. He picked a perfect reading for us and sang a beautiful song at the end. He is so talented and just lovely. He delivered it all with grace, poise, humour and and a real emphasis on the love we have have for each other. We didn’t know about the ” Handfasting” tradition, but so glad he told us about it, really gave it an extra special touch and a keepsake. You will see in the pictures. From start to finish we are so made up with everything he created for us and that we shared it with him. We can not recommend him highly enough. We had a couple of hiccups with our venue and the weather, but he accommodated us when we had to make the changes without a bother. We love him x

Mark was the perfect choice as Celebrant for the funeral of my later partner, Steve. We met up and spoke at length about Steve, and Mark crafted a wonderful tribute to him. He had really taken the time to get to the heart of the man and even helped us to choose the right music. Steve was a perfectionist and I know that he would have very much approved!

Thank you so much, Mark, for making our wedding day so special. You took so much time to get to know us both beforehand and the ceremony was personal and absolutely perfect. We have amazing memories of a fantastic day and are very grateful to you for your help and guidance.

Mark is a kind and compassionate celebrant using his listening skills and expertise to draw out a mixed bag of thoughts and memories from all who knew the deceased and recombine them into a coherent speech that presents the best image of your loved one at the funeral.

Mark managed to express our thoughts and memories of my brother in a very caring and sometimes funny way.
We do not live local and it was nice to know everything was arranged with professionalism and kindness .
