Neil conducted Grandads Funeral in Jan 2025. 11 months later we were heartbroken to say we needed him again for our Grandmas Funeral. On both occasions the services were perfect in every way possible.... See more

Neil visited our home to learn about our lovely mum, Janet. We shared some great memories and ideas for her funeral service.
Neil is a genuinely friendly, considerate and supportive professional who couldn’t do enough for us all, gathering information and memories of mum. Neil gave us his personal phone number and email address so we could send him stories we had forgotten which were included in the service. Neil even sourced mum’s favourite songs for the service too.
Neil organised, planned and lead the funeral service, giving mum a lovely farewell, friends and family agreed too.
If you are looking for a confident and professional celebrant to lead a service, Neil is that person.
I can’t thank him enough for the flawless service he gave us and our mum.
I would highly recommend Neil at

Neil was the Celebrant for my godmother
Neil was the Celebrant for my godmothers funeral. He was amazing, he had listened to the family and understood everything that they had spoken about. He spoke about my godmother with so much warmth and love and as if he had known her himself.
I also know his daughter and other family members said what a wonderful service he conducted. Thank you x

Caring and professional
Neil carried out my Mums funeral service after he was recommended to us.
He was very professional and following a meeting with the family he really seemed to understand my Mum and gave a very personal tribute on the day. Neil went above and beyond his role and arranged a
surprise message from one of my Mums favourite singers, which was a lovely touch.
We were pleased that it was Neil who carried out the service and would
recommend him wholeheartedly.

Kind, caring and compassionate
We cannot thank Neil enough for the tribute he gave to our mum. From our initial meeting with Neil we knew we would be able to relate to him. He was kind, caring and compassionate. He gave us some great suggestions and advice without being pushy. Neil was available anytime to answer any questions or queries that we had. On the day of the service he conducted it beautifully and talked about our Mum as if he had known her for years.
We cannot thank you enough and round highly recommend.

CARING AND VERY GOOD AT HIS JOB
Having had Neil do a service for a family member last year we wanted him to do this service for us.
The care and detail he put into the prep for the service was second to none and his delivery was just as great,
i can honestly say he helped to make the hardest of days a little less hard.

Great Funeral Service/Tribute to our Dad
The family and I cannot thank Neil enough for the most beautiful tribute to our Dad. All that attended expressed how fantastic the service was and were in awe that you didn’t actually know Dad. From the short time we spent together, you got to know Dad well and made some fantastic suggestions and gave some great ideas of what to do for the service. Everyone thought the inclusion of our late mum, who passed during Covid was beautiful, so we thank you for helping us to do this too.
We couldn’t have done it without you.
You made what was probably the most heart wrenching day, wonderful.

Professional and Caring.
Neil fulfilled the role of celebrant at my Mother's funeral with great dignity and professionalism. He is a warm and caring man whose enthusiasm to get things right shines through from the very first contact to the concluding service. I must admit to being quite demanding throughout the whole process and Neil patiently met with my requests. The end result couldn't have gone any smoother and a great many people commented on Neil's dignified contribution.

We cannot thank Neil enough for the time and effort he put in to getting to know our Mum and her story. It meant her service was truly perfect and totally reflected the woman she was. Neil went above and beyond even getting us her favourite sweets. Thank you from all of the family!

Mum's service
Neil went out of his way to get to know Mum through talking to us all in depth. During the service he talked about her as if he'd known her for years. The eulogy was very special....talking about her life but also sharing funny and touching memories from all the family. Fully recommend him to others. A service with a very personal touch.

Neil makes you feel comfortable during the initial process.
I cannot thank Neil enough for the care he took to get to know my husband and managed to convey his personality and humour. He lead the funeral faultlessly and his professionalism showed through. I would not hesitate to recommend him in the future.

Amazing Celebrant
From the moment my brother and I met Neil,we knew we were in safe hands. He spent so much time making sure he knew about my mum and our family so he could get the service just right. He was supportive and friendly and made things alot easier for us. I have been to plenty of funerals where the person taking the service hasn't taken the time to get a feel for a family. We were so lucky to use Neil's service.Everyone said what a lovely,fitting service it was with a mix of information and memories of mum. I can't thank Neil enough for his efforts and compasion, he made us feel we had "done mum proud" .
