Another thank you...

Dear Katie
Just a quick email to say thanks.
Friday went very well, much of this due to your hard work and assistance. I think my dad would have been pleased.
Thank you.
Kind regards

Lovely email this morning...

Hi Katie
Thank you so very much for your kind, professional manner in speaking at dads funeral.
I was too emotional to speak so it was a great comfort to me and gave me the time to look after mum.
We all agreed how wonderful you were so thanks for agreeing to oversee dads day I will always have gratitude for your time and help.
With best wishes
Phil Buckle

Lest we forget! ❤️

A civil funeral is a carefully scripted tribute written about the character and life of the person.

All, or parts of, the tribute can be delivered by a celebrant, a family member or a friend.

Love this ❤️

Testimonial Tuesday... with thanks to Rowley & Sons Family Funeral Services
Hello Katie, Just a note to thank you so much for the excellent order of service for Pat. It was beautifully read and such a fitting tribute to her. The whole family present mentioned what a moving service it had been. Our thanks once again for your reading and support throughout.
Best wishes
Joan and John Betts

Just received this lovely card through the post this morning ❤️

I always get lots of lovely thank you emails and phone calls but it’s so nice to receive an actual card. 🥰💙

Thank You Thursday!🥰

Hi Katie,
Sorry it's been a few days, we've been in Edinburgh visiting family. We just want to say a big thank you to yourself for leading such a beautiful ceremony. We were extremely happy with how it went, we were shocked with how many people attended considering we thought it was only going to be 4-5 of us. It was fantastic to see all his family, friends, neighbors and work colleagues paying their respects. Everyone we spoke to after the funeral were delighted with how lovely it was, as were we. Under such difficult circumstances we are eternally grateful to yourself and the Heworth Co-op Funeralcare for taking the worry and the stress out of the whole process, and letting us just concentrate on remembering and celebrating Alistair's life.
Kind Regards
Donna & Neil

Hi Katie,
Thank you so much for taking the service, it was spot on and everyone was one was saying the same.
My dad would have been proud.
Thanks again,
Craig

Testimonial Tuesday 🥰
Hi Katie.
I’ve been meaning to email/call to thank you.
It was a lovely service and your ‘hosting’ was fantastic. Everyone commented on what a great job you did and I agree.
You were a big part in helping to make the day a fitting tribute to a very well loved lady and I am very grateful.
Thank you
Anita

Lovely email i received today. ❤️
Hi Katie, many thanks for the extremely professional way in which you conducted the ceremony for the sad passing of our mother. Obviously for the family it was a very difficult day made so much easier by the way you presented and guided through the service.
Many thanks again, Bernard.

Just beautiful ❤️💙

She said, “Don't call the doctor, I want to fall asleep peacefully, with your hand in mine.” He told her about the past, how they met, their first kiss. they didn't cry, they smiled. They didn't regret anything, they were grateful. Then she repeated softly, 'I love you forever!' He returned her words, gave her a soft kiss on the forehead. She closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully with her hand in his. Love is really all that matters because everyone comes into this world with nothing other than love and leaves with nothing other than love. Think about it. Profession, career, bank account, our goods are just tools, nothing more. Everything stays here. So just love….Love those that really love you. Love, as if there was nothing more important in your life.❤️

It is always such a pleasure to work with J G Fielder & Son Funeral Directors. John Tattersall is one of the nicest Funeral Directors in York with years of experience. He is fantastic with families showing care and compassion from start to finish.
Very well deserved, good luck! 🤞🩵

Hi Katie,
Thank you so much for the service on Friday (and sorry about the challenging pronunciations!). A lot of people have commented on how calm and peaceful the ceremony was, which was just as I had hoped it would be.
With best wishes,
Edwina.

Take care,

Dear Katie
I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you once again for conducting Colin's funeral service on Monday. We were so pleased with the way it went and thought you did a fantastic job with a lot of disjointed information - you made it sound seamless so thank you, we really appreciate it.
With very best wishes
Lucy and Andy

Hi Katie,

It’s ok ❤️💙

Hi Katie
As a family, we can't thank you enough for the kindness you have shown us. The service you prepared and read for us was more than we could have hoped for. Even though it is still a shock that we have lost Martin so suddenly I know that he would have been very grateful to everyone involved in giving him a good send off. He is finally at peace now and near my dad.
Kind regards
Wendy.

I’m always so touched at all the lovely thank yous I receive, big or small. Whether it’s a card, an email, a text or face to face, at an emotional time in their lives people never cease to amaze me with their kindness. Here are just a few little emails received over the last couple of weeks. 🥰

Morning Katie
Just wanted to say the service you gave was perfect and exactly right for dad. Thank you so much for your care and compassion it was greatly appreciated. Thank you from us all # #

Hi Katie,
Sorry for the late reply but I thought I should as the service met all our expectations and was a fitting send off for Mum. Many thanks from Steve, Dad and I for your professionalism and understanding.

Paul

Hi Katie,
I can't say I was looking forward to the day but we all agreed it couldn't have gone better. I think we all did mum proud. Thanks so much Katie for your kindness, sensitivity and humour. You did an excellent job.
Thanks again and best wishes.
Gary.

Morning Katie
Thank you for your kind words. My family and I appreciate the caring way you conducted the service. Mum would approved and certainly would have enjoyed it!
Thanks again
Sheila

Dear Katie

Lovely present from an amazing family, so great 😌 # # #

I am so incredibly proud to work with so many amazing women in the funeral industry, from fellow celebrants to funeral directors to admin, to florists to crematorium staff. In a once male dominated industry it’s so lovely to see so many inspiring women doing a truly incredible job. Much love to you all. 🥰💪🏻 # # #
