Claire was the celebrant for my mother’s funeral on the 21st February at Harwood Park.
It was an amazing service to mark her life. Claire’s attention to detail was so spot on & she totally captured my mum’s character.
I so appreciated Claire visiting me at home to guide us through every step of the process. I knew exactly what to expect which was very comforting.
I was very 50/50 & nervous about reading a poem but Claire let me decide at the time with a simple nod. Her encouragement helped me through & I’m so glad I managed it.
Would I recommend? Yes. 100%. Thank you so much.

Claire was the celebrant for my father’s funeral on 30.1.24. Everybody who attended commented on what a beautiful and fitting service it was. She really captured my dad’s life and it felt like she’d known him all along.
She spent time with us as a family, capturing memories, and we all knew from the moment we met her that she would be the perfect person to deliver a service we could be proud of.
We couldn’t recommend Claire enough, we truly feel lucky she was our celebrant.
Thank you Claire for all your support, time and understanding – you are a natural.

Claire was the most perfect celebrant to conduct my mums funeral on 6.1.23. Claire came and met with us at home and informally chatted to us as a family whilst madly jotting down notes from our conversation. She has a lovely calm and friendly demeanour and put us immediately at our ease despite the extremely sad situation. I had made some notes and gave them to Claire who expertly weaved them together. Between the initial meeting and the ceremony Claire’s communication was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. On the day of the funeral I knew we were in safe hands, my daughters were to read and were naturally nervous and emotional, Claire immediately put them at ease and whilst she offered to take over if required she gave them the confidence to carry it out themselves. Claire guided us through the proceedings with sensitivity and patience.
The delivery of the eulogy with her velvet tones was so very enchanting and the whole of the congregation commented to me afterwards on her exceptional style and delivery.

Claire conducted the funeral for my beloved Mother on 10th January 2023.
“What a wonderful service!” were the words echoed by my mothers family and friends.
Claire was so thoughtful and kind and I know my mother would have taken to her immediately .
My one worry when looking for a celebrant was that they must have a nice voice, I didn’t want anyone who would be monotone and Claire deliver, she was delightful and a pleasure to listen to, in fact, you would have thought she actually knew my mum!
Claire visited us at home and made several notes of our ramblings, she sent us a draft copy that she happily added some extra memories to, nothing was too much trouble, she was kind, caring and compassionate.
I cannot thank Claire enough for the wonderful service and the beautiful copy that she so kindly presented to us.
A very sad day made so much easier buy a wonderful lady!

Claire was the celebrant at my fathers funeral (Nov 2022). Claire really invested time in getting to know my family, listening to our stories of my fathers life and our wishes / expectations for the funeral itself. As a result the service was truly perfect in reflecting my fathers life and she did an amazing job as it was extremely well balanced in terms of timings and content. I have never been to any funeral where so many people have talked afterwards about how wonderful the service was and how fitting for the individual concerned. I couldn’t recommend Claire more highly and other families will be lucky to have Claire supporting them at such a challenging time as the death of a loved one.
