Funerals

“We were so thankful for the way Jo helped us in the lead up to our fathers funeral. She was compassionate and thoughtful as she guided us through the process. On the day she officiated dads funeral and it was beautiful. Her gentle presence brought great comfort to our family.”

“I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Jo, whose compassion and care made a difficult time feel more bearable. Her kindness and empathy shone through, making me feel like I was with a close friend. The ceremony was beautiful, and Jo ensured that every detail was taken care of, exceeding our expectations. Her follow-up care was also deeply appreciated. I know Barbara would have loved the ceremony, especially the thoughtful touches like the flowers and butterflies. Thank you again, Jo, from the bottom of our hearts.

We would highly recommend Jo.”

“Jo was excellent on so many levels, but especially her tone and capturing the essence of Vera. She approached the task in a dignified way, balancing a celebration of a life well lived with respectful mourning. Communication was excellent throughout. A first class celebrant.”

“Thank you so much Jo for all your help in a difficult time for us. The service you presented for my brother was absolutely perfect. I would recommend you without hesitation to others. You were so patient with us and helped us immensely when we needed it. We all loved the poem you found that suited my brother to a tee, it was very thoughtful of you to look for that.”

“We both felt that the preparatory meeting we had with Jo demonstrated great empathy for our emotional state at a very difficult time, while at the same time organising the sequence of components of the funeral in a very professional manner. This was certainly borne out in the service which ran very smoothly. This certainly made the service less stressful for us and gave all those who wished to speak time to do so. The short graveside service was equally well-handled by Jo. Many of the family and friends who attended have commented that it was a beautiful service and captured much of Heather’s spirit and personality. We could not have done this without your contribution, and for this we thank you sincerely.”

“Jo helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life. My childhood friend's funeral. I was in another state and we organised most of her service over the phone. We delivered a beautiful service that was so truly deserved. Thank you Jo from the bottom of my heart. I wouldn't have been able to do it without you.”

“Jo wrote and delivered a beautiful heartfelt service for our mother. Her words provided such comfort and solace to our family. With her guidance it was a positive healing experience at such a difficult time.”

“Jo was a blessing throughout the whole process of putting together my mother's funeral. Her calm approach and support I couldn't have done without. I appreciated the help and everything she suggested as I have never had to organise a funeral before. Nothing was too much trouble and I'm glad she was recommended to me. The service for my mother was perfect.”

“At a difficult time, from the first initial phone call we as a family were guided and reassured. Jo was absolutely wonderful, meeting us at our home and calmly and clearly with empathy explaining the process forward. Full and transparent with her advice, costs and everything in between we could not have asked for more. Sincere empathy and a willingness to help in person, via emails and phone calls. Thank You so much Jo.”
