Jon was fantastic throughout the process of arranging mums funeral. his care, professionalism and calming nature meant it was so easy to deal with Jon he put us all at ease with the day and I couldn’t think of anyone better to have had for mum. Thank you Jon from the bottom of my heart!

Jon was a breath of fresh air in my hours of darkness at the sudden loss of my husband Bob. Nothing was too much trouble for him, he was in constant contact in the week leading up to the service to arrange exactly what I wanted. He has such a calming manner about him. The service itself was so beautifully conducted, even through my tears he put me at ease. It was a pleasure for him to conduct the service for us. Everyone commented afterwards at what a wonderful ceremony it was. He even rang me the next day to check that I was doing ok. Thank you once again from myself, my family, Bob’s family and all our friends.

Jon was very thoughtful, caring and had a lovely calming approach. He made organising the cremation service a lot easier, he was always available if needed. Thank you Jon for delivering a special service for my Uncle.

Jon recently delivered the service for my brother Andrew's funeral. Throughout the process, from our initial face-to-face meeting (on his day off) to the final delivery, Jon was compassionate, empathetic and helpful in how he dealt with us. One of my first concerns was how I would manage to read the eulogy. Jon reassured me that I would be able to get through it. He would step in if needed, but not take over as it was important I gave the tribute, even if there were a few glitches. When we went to look at the chapel, he gave useful, practical suggestions. Importantly we felt Jon understood what our brother was like and reflected this in the service. We had very positive feedback from members of the congregation about what a beautiful service they had attended. Our family would highly recommend Jon for any service you are considering.

We had the pleasure of Jon conducting the ceremony at our wedding recently. Jon made the whole process easy and put us right at ease. Listened to what we wanted and gave us so many great ideas, many of which we used in the service and our guests loved. Every little detail was considered on the day to ensure we had the most beautiful service, that our friends and family felt part of it, and that it reflected us as a couple. We could not recommend Jon enough as a wedding celebrant, he made it all so amazing and so many of our guests said how great the ceremony was. Thank you Jon, we truly are so grateful for what you created for us.

Jon was very kind & caring. He tailored the service perfectly for my mum. I felt taken care of by him at a very difficult time.Everyone who attended has said how special the service was.I can’t thank him enough.

Jon conducted our brothers funeral ceremony today. Jon has kept us informed and included us in every detail of the ceremony and he has taken the pressure off a really stressful time. The ceremony was beautiful and captured our brother perfectly. Thank you Jon
