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

Professional, Considerate and insightful.
Neil lead a service for my Grandad on 21st July. To say I was impressed is an understatement. Neil has a delivery that is engaging and warm throughout. Delivering my Grandads stories and adventures was seamlessly constructed by Neil and executed with precision.
The lead up to the service Neil spent time with the family and was nothing but kind and considerate. Further adding advice on what we could include in the service.
If you are looking for a confident and professional celebrant to lead a service, Neil is that person.
Neil I can not thank you enough for the flawless service you gave my Grandad.

From the very start Neil John made us feel very relaxed at what is a difficult time, he spent hours just talking with making us smile while we were going through our memories of Terry, nothing was too much trouble and he even found a very old vinyl record as a personal touch to play at the funeral for us , his story of Terry's life was excellent and read out with care and compassion , he was completely professional throughout and by the end of the whole process he felt more like a friend , could not have asked for anything more .

At a very emotional time Neil was professional, helpful, kind and caring. The service was a true reflection of my dad’s life, with a great balance of the seriousness of the occasion; time to reflect on the memories we all have and a few funny moments from his life that prompted smiles amongst the tears. All our wishes were included. Family and friends that attended said the service prompted many memories of the impact my dad had on their lives too. Neil was especially caring to my mum who had lost her husband after 65 years of marriage.

Neil was fantastic with looking after us all through the process of sorting my auntie funeral out. He came round to the home to talk to us all. He suggested that the four of us write something down and give it to him on what she ment to us and a funny story about her life. We told him that she liked leopard skin clothing and he went out his way ro buy a tie to match what us as a family wore a item of animal print. You couldn't asked for a better celebrate and he makes it go as easy has he can at that sad time. When we have another funeral I would not hesitate to have him again. Big thanks again Neil.

More than helpful
Neil was more than helpful in arranging my partner's funeral service. Nothing was too much trouble and paid genuine interest in the family's requests. Neil has a pleasing personality and is easy to talk to. I can recommend him unreservedly.

Professional and personal
After my children lost their father in traumatic circumstances finding the right celebrant to do the service was really important. Neil was professional and caring taking the children’s views and feelings into account. He was patient, understanding and thoughtful and made them feel like they’d played an important part in the service. He was always available to answer questions and nothing was too much trouble making the difficult process more bearable. The service was personal and unique thanks to Neil and all his hard work, time and effort.

Understanding Thorough Professional Caring
Neil spent time with my family to get to know what sort of person my dad was. This allowed him to carry out the ceremony fitting to my dad. He is professional, easy to talk to and gives you the type of day you and your family want for your loved one . Thank you Neil .

Personalised and Beautiful
Neil was very professional and warm in a very tragic time for our family. He listened patiently to our stories and memories, weaving together a personalised and beautiful service. He was enthusiastic to give us something special and unique to reflect the person we were remembering perfectly. We could not have asked for a better celebrant and his attention to detail was second to none.

Professional and caring
What a truly lovely and professional guy. We really couldn’t have asked for a more help and caring celebrant for Dad’s funeral. Right from the first meeting with Neil, he guided us through what needed to be done, listened to our wishes and on the day, delivered a beautifully fitting celebration of Dads life. At such a difficult time, it was so reassuring to have someone with us with a sense of humour as well as a sense of occasion. I would recommend Neil without any hesitation.

We have been using Neil for about 10 months now and all I can say he's a genuine very likeable person, and all the families that have used him have said the same. He spends time with the family getting to know them and more important there loved one and treats them like family, and his services are very good and always gives families a momento of the service beautifully presented. I will always use Neil as I know that we will get a great service.Sue @ The Co-op Blaby
