Nasher The Celebrant

My sisters service was amazing. Some might find that a strange word to say about a funeral service But to us as a family To hear laughter all around us , was heartwarming our tears soon dried. The lovely Eulogy Brian said about our Di was just that.. amazing!. He came out to see us and listened while we all chatted away telling stories about our Diane’s life, and how much she meant to each and everyone of us . And reflected that in his words.Thank you so much Brian you did our Di, our super hero so proud x

I just wanted to say thank you so much from myself and the whole family for the lovely service and Eulogy at my mum Teresa’s funeral. It was full of warmth, humour and compassion. You did my mum proud, she’d have loved it and you too.Thanks also for supporting me in reading my tribute, it was like having a friend at my side.Keep doing what you’re doing, it’s brilliant.

Brian helped us celebrate the life of my mum (Margaret) and as a family we could not recommend him highly enough. He listened to and encouraged stories of Mum that he shared with sensitivity and humour, and made the funeral a celebration which was exactly what we wanted. He was mistaken for a family member which I think is a compliment to how well he spoke about Mum. Thanks Brian for your help and support, we couldn't have asked for a better celebrant.

We were recommended Brian as the celebrant for my husband's funeral. He did an excellent job, was really kind and compassionate at our initial meeting, then sent the details for me to proof read before the day. He talked so well at the funeral that many of the guests couldn't believe he didn't know my husband. I would highly recommend him for any celebration.

Brian telephoned us at home to arrange his visit. He made myself and family feel at ease as he asked questions about my late parent. He the sent me a draught of his my dad's eulogy. I asked to to amend a couple of things and add a couple of things. This was done. On the day of the funeral, the eulogy was read beautifully. It was moving and witty. Everyone commented on the eulogy. All were pleased by it. Brian made a very sad day into a celebration of my dads life. I thank him again.

I cannot speak highly enough of Brian. He met my sister and I to talk about our mum's life, and he was so warm, friendly, and easy to talk to. He kept in regular contact to ensure all the details were correct, and didn't hesitate to make amendments when necessary. On the day of the funeral, Brian did a phenomenal job. Not only did he have a perfect balance of sensitivity and humour, but the eulogy he wrote made it feel like he knew my mum. From start to finish, Brian was so warm and sincere, I lost count very quickly of how many people came up to me to say how great Brian was. For every tear of sadness, he made up for it with a tear of laughter. You will be in very safe hands with Brian. He gave our mum the perfect send-off and I'm sure he'll do the same for you too. Many thanks again, Brian, from the whole family.

Wow, words cannot describe how grateful we are to have had Brian help us to celebrate my Dad's life. From start to finish, the journey was seamless and Brian's talent for capturing a loved one's life is extraordinary. Lots of people who attended my Dad's celebration of life commented on how they thought Brian was a family friend because of how he told Dad's story. Throughout the process, Brian was empathic, professional and you felt safe in the knowledge that your loved one would get the best send off. He was really great at supporting us with the order of service and streamlining the day to make it just how Dad would have wanted. Brian also takes into account any requests from the loved one that has passed.He spent a good amount of time getting to know us as a family, my Dad's idiosyncrasies and understanding his personality. This was captured perfectly in the stunning eulogy that he put together for my Dad. Brian also supported me in finding the confidence to deliver and write a tribute for my Dad - which is a huge moment in my life that I will never forget. He also encouraged my brother to write a tribute which my brother was very grateful for. We will reflect back on my Dad's day safe in the knowledge that his character and life was truly celebrated in the best way possible.We couldn't have wished for a better person to support us on the rocky terrain that is grief. And, we just know that my Dad - our Joe - is shining down on us absolutely over the moon that his special day was perfect. My family and I (especially my Mum, my brother and I) highly recommend Brian as a celebrant.Thank you for everything. We will never forget you! <3

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Brian for all the help he gave us with our mum’s funeral. My sister and I were initially nervous, but Brian put us at ease - he is open and easy to talk to. He encouraged us to remember the good times, mums loves and hates, and the person she was and we will remember. We wanted a eulogy that captured mum’s spirit and personality rather than being too factual and Brians eulogy did exactly that - it was perfect - mums talents, humour, mischievousness and total lust for life shone through.Brians delivery of the eulogy on the day was flawless - we couldn’t have asked for better.Thanks again Sue & Anne

Just wanted to convey my heartfelt thanks for the way in which you lead the service for our beloved Pops yesterday. From the moment you arrived at my mum's house, you immediately put us at ease. You handled our family with such care and humour and dealt with any changes we requested with speed and sensitivity.On the day of the funeral, everyone commented on how you really managed to capture the essence of our Pop's personality, with equal measure of tears and laughter. I know it meant so much to our mum.This job is definitely Brian's calling and I would recommend him to anyone who wants a warm, feeling, down to earth Celebrant to commemorate their loved one.
