Roger,
Thank you for conducting N's poignant service on Tuesday.
Through my tears I was deeply touched by your compassionate voice and courteous manner.
I know the service was exactly what Don would have wanted.
Your continual support and guidance to the family throughout has helped and comforted us,
and your heartfelt reading of the final poem summed it all up.

Hi Roger
N and I wanted to say a huge thank you for your service for My Dad yesterday.
For someone who never got to meet the great man,
you did a tremendous job of bringing what he was about to life.
Mum is going to send you a Thank you card -
again, she was over the moon with what you did.

Dear Roger,
Thank you for your very kind thoughts,
you really are a special individual, and we are all very grateful of your support on a difficult day.
The service you delivered was excellent and could not have been surpassed.
The day was just perfect from the very start,
with my own personal goodbye to N, through to the service and afterwards too.
N would have been delighted and appreciated the day very much,
and seeing so many people saying their farewells.

Dear Roger,
On behalf of all the family I would like to thank you so much for delivering N's funeral service yesterday.
Everything went as planned (he would have been pleased) and we felt it was a fitting tribute to him.

Thank you so much, Roger, for a lovely service.
I did say that I wanted people to say 'that was nice' and you delivered.
If my sisters approved then it was good...!
Thank you again

Thank you for your kind words and taking the time to follow up the service.
May I take this opportunity to say how grateful we are for your help
in making a very difficult situation so much easier than it otherwise could have been.
From our initial meeting up to, and after the service itself,
you have been helpful, understanding and compassionate.
Your website and guidance were also of great help to us.
I am sure Mum would have approved, even if it may not have been what was on her elusive list.
On a slightly lighter and professional note, N said she was very impressed with your delivery of the service
and how good you are at what you do.
I can only agree - once again, thank you.

Dear Roger,
The family and I would like to think you for conducting such an excellent service yesterday for N.
You managed to get exactly the right tone, and was everything we could have wished for.
You and the Funeral Director thought of everything, which meant that we did not have to.
So many of the "guests" approached us afterwards and said what a wonderful service
and I think that between us we managed to get the music spot on.
Very many thanks.

We just wanted to thank you for taking the service on the occasion of N's funeral.
It was everything we had wished for, personal and very befitting the circumstances.
We have received many comments from the other members of the congregation
on the content of the service and in particular, your kindness and understanding of the occasion.
I have, also, received requests for copies of the poems ( which I have gladly forwarded to them).
Once again thank you for your attention to detail
and the time you spent finding the right poems, readings and order of service.
It was a pleasure to meet you.

Dear Roger,
just to say thank you for a wonderful service it was exactly as we had hoped it would be and more.
We had many people say to us that it was a very good service and very fitting for N.
Lots of people came back to the pub afterwards and a lot of good cheer was had by all.
You missed a lovely warm fire and plenty of good humour!
We are all feeling very mixed emotions at the moment but time will heal I'm sure.
Take care and keep safe - you really are a treasure.

Roger was the Celebrant for my Mother’s funeral in March 2015.
He took my rough notes and turned it into a eulogy that I and all those who attended were very pleased with it.
Roger and I arranged everything by phone and email as we did not meet until the day of the funeral.
This was my choice and in no way did this arrangement hinder the excellent service provided by Roger.
I would recommend him without reservation.

I would just like to thank you for a beautiful and personal service which you performed for my mum yesterday.
It was very touching and the extra detail added by you was perfect for the occasion.
We all even chuckled at the slight mix up re music and put it down to mum getting the most out of her final day.

Dear Roger
I’m sorry that I didn't get around to speaking to you after yesterdays service,
but I just wanted to say thank you so much for making yesterday such a beautiful day -
although it was so very sad, it was just a wonderful tribute to my dear friend.
I have spoken to many people since yesterday,
who have commented in particular upon the lovely words in the committal at the end of the service.
It was just so apt for N who loved nature and all that is beautiful around us.
Thank you Roger, from all of us.
