time and effort which you put in which seemed to make my father’s funeral such
a resounding success”

supported throughout and it was such a relief to know the funeral would all
fall into place under your expert guidance.”

singing the praises of Humanist Funerals whenever the opportunity arises.”

proper respect and dignity with such delightful un-pomposity”

“Your
sympathy and understanding in a time of stress was much appreciated”

“(The
deceased’s) sister was very pleased with the ceremony. She particularly
remarked on how good your timing was as the event proceeded without feeling rushed, the usual problem in a crematorium.”
“I
am getting asked for scripts (of the funeral) by a number of people.”

“The
service was very well conducted and you did my father enormous credit in the
professional way in which it was delivered.
We all think my father would have been greatly pleased and happy with
the content.”
“Thank
you again on behalf of the family for your help and guidance and for your
compassion throughout this trying time, it was a great relief to my mother that
things went so smoothly.”
----------------------
“On
behalf of the family, I would like to say how grateful we all were for your
help and support leading to last Wednesday’s tribute to my mother. From the feedback we have received, attendees
were very agreeably surprised with the content and format of the ceremony.”
----------------------
“I
know Mum was a little nervous about a non-religious funeral even though it was
what Dad would have wanted, but she is now grateful for the way you conducted
the committal. Many comments have been made about how dignified and appropriate
it all was.”
----------------------
“Many
thanks for the excellent way in which you performed at (the deceased’s)
funeral. The family
were all delighted with the way the proceedings went.”
----------------------
“Thank
you for putting together all the tributes into a booklet,
it is something I will treasure.” “Thank you very much for all you did to make
(the deceased’s) funeral a special event. So many people have said how
marvelous they thought it was.”
----------------------
“.....a
sincere ‘thank you’ for all your support through some very difficult days
leading up to the funeral.” “It was good to know that it was “enjoyed”, as much
as a funeral can be, by so many people.
I have been assured by the Golf Club secretary, who attended many
funerals, that we couldn’t have done better and that it was exactly what (the
deceased)
would have wanted.”
----------------------
“The
funeral that (the officiant) provided and the sensitive way he worked with me
and my daughters confirmed to me that the British Humanist Association must
continue to make this service available.” “As so often, we had lots of positive
feed back from other mourners, some of whom had never experienced a humanist
funeral.”
