TJB Celebrancy

We cannot thank Tommy enough for the wonderful Celebration of Life Service that we needed for Dad on 10th October 2022. He travelled to our home in Belper and we spent a.lovely few hours discussing Dad's life. He didn't just hear what we were saying, he listened to us....there is a difference. He kept in close contact with us after that. On the day of Dad's funeral he conducted the service with passion and attention to our requests. He came across as though he had known Dad himself. Family and friends commented that they thought it was a wonderful service and Tommy gave Dad the send off he deserved. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you so much Tommy....liz and Dave Riman

What few words can I use to describe Tommy? Kind, patient, empathetic, to name just a few.Tommy led my mum's funeral service on 2 June 2023. He spent a considerable amount of time with us prior to that, asking questions and learning about mum and her life and everything that had mattered to her. The eulogy was beautiful, we felt as though Tommy knew mum and our family personally. He also made extra suggestions to personalise the service even more.When I contacted Tommy with questions before the funeral he even offered to visit me to discuss it further and he put me completely at ease.A funeral for some is their final chance to say goodbye to a loved one. Tommy, you did mum proud and we are forever grateful that we chose you.Thank you so much.

I'd like to thank Tommy for his sensitive handling of my mum's funeral service, held on October 6th, 2022He made sure to take his time to find out about all aspects of my mum's life, from childhood to adulthood, family life, hobbies, career.He has a very soothing voice, & helped to make a very emotional time a little less stressful for us.Thank-you.

We were very fortunate that our Funeral Director selected Tommy to be our Celebrant. Although we had never previously met, within minutes of his arrival at our home, we felt that he was a close family friend. It helped that we had prepared our ideas for the Order of Service, Music, Prayer and Hymn but mapping out the many twists and turns of Mum's life into a fitting Eulogy was made easy by Tommy's pleasant and calm manner, and logical and inquisitive approach. Tommy's strength is that he is very patient and he does not confine you to a fixed amount of time - he puts in whatever it takes to make the occasion personal, unique, and special, which it was today. His preparation, leadership and professional delivery was reflected in every aspect of Mum's funeral. Thank you Tommy.
