Sarah Burley Celebrant Reviews 

Sarah was the celebrant for my husband's funeral. She spent a great deal of time getting the eulogy absolutely right. For someone who had never met him in life she managed to capture the essence of the man. She was never less than kind and considerate both before and during the funeral.

Sadly we have recently had two family funerals. We were drawn to Sarah from the beginning and she has kindly officiated at both funerals . She is warm ,caring and very professional. She spent a long time with us simply talking about the family members we had lost and she obviously valued the insight we could give her into their lives so she could convey this during the service. She guided us and definitely helped us get through what has been an extremely difficult time . I would highly recommend her.

As an independent funeral director, at White Rose Modern Funerals we take great care in the choice of Funeral Celebrant to recommend to the families that we look after, to make sure that they will be a good fit with the family and deliver a personalised service.

We are always confident in recommending Sarah as we get such lovely feedback from the families she has helped - from putting them at ease from the moment they meet with her to taking the time to really find out about their family member and explore creative ideas for the funeral service.

With a background in performing arts and events, Sarah is warm, personable and has the charisma needed to deliver a memorable service that is always completely personalised to each family. We are fortunate to have such a gifted and caring Celebrant as part of our team.

Sarah has a way of putting you at ease and making you remember things you didn't know you had forgotten. Her tribute for my mother-in-law reminded me of the person I used to know before dementia took her away. She reminded us of funny and happier times and made the day about the life of the person rather than the death. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

From the minute I met Sarah, I knew she was the perfect person for my mum’s funeral. I was a complete mess and she was so calm and kind and really took the time to listen to me ramble on about my mum’s life. At the end of the service everyone thought they must have been best friends. She captured everything about her so perfectly, I know Mum would have been really pleased. Sarah even helped me sort the wake and her husband did all the food, so when we got home it was all set up and ready.

Saying goodbye to my oldest friend was a hard and painful thing to do but Sarah was amazing. She took the time beforehand to really listen and build a proper picture of him as the person he was through OUR eyes; somehow she managed to make an utterly miserable occasion into something uplifting which reminded us of all the good times we’d had together. A caring, lovely, insightful lady.
