    Thank you so much, Shelley and Emma: your planning and implementation was meticulous. And thank you also to Paul, who was a very calm and supportive celebrant on the day.

    Suggestions were so helpful and very professionally presented. Not least a written record of the funeral service in a lovely box to treasure 
    We had over 200 people at the funeral and I lost count of the people who said that was the warmest most loving funeral they had been to
    This indicates the consideration that all involved had put into a very special occasion
