I cannot recommend Allison highly enough, she helped us through the process of finding the perfect words and music for a tribute to my Father. She officiated the celebration of Dads life with such professionalism, it was just perfect, I couldn’t have wished for anything more. As well as being a professional Allison is very caring and thoughtful and made us feel so at ease, nothing was too much trouble.
Thank you Allison you are a true Star 🌟 x

Allison made the whole process of arranging my dad’s funeral service so much easier during such a sad time. Her kindness and support was incredible from start to finish. I will be forever grateful to her. Everyone who attended said what a beautiful service it was.
I would recommend Allison to anyone who are thinking of using a celebrant, you will not be disappointed she is a very special lady.

Allison’s gift was her ability to convey the love and affection we felt for a great friend and to enable those who attended his funeral service to relive their time with him through stories and personal memories, including laughter and a few tears, as we said our goodbyes.
Preparing and honing the script for a eulogy on such an occasion is less difficult when someone as intuitive and empathetic as Allison is at the helm to provide and present it. During the funeral service these qualities – linking and introducing our own contributions with encouragement and words of appreciation – allowed those of us recalling a life in story, verse, music and prayer to give of our best in reflecting our memories of one for whom the love shone through.
From the moment I made contact with her, Allison was always accessible both online or by phone and she organised the whole event with professionalism and enormous empathy, attributes which were commented on by many of those who attended.
As we were leaving she presented me with a beautifully boxed script of the service – a thanksgiving for the life of my best friend.

Allison worked with us to produce a wonderful service and tribute to my late step father. It was spoken with warmth, wit and humour which is what we wanted as a fitting tribute. I cannot express our thanks enough to the kindness shown by Allison. I would highly recommend her services to anyone you won’t be disappointed.

Allison carefully and thoroughly aided me in selecting the information to include in her non religious funeral for my dear wife which included our favourite music and poetry.
She quickly produced and emailed a draft and then emailed a revised draft before printing the programme of the service.
She was at the entrance when the cortège arrived, asked if we wanted the curtains open or closed at the end, and then led us all behind the coffin into the seating area where she delivered her speech in a clear calm voice. She also included a moment for the mourners to say a silent prayer if they wanted to.
She was also at the exit as we left to say goodbye and asked if we were feeling ok.
To sum up, Allison is a very caring and kind person who greatly helped us to deal with our grief at the passing of someone who was greatly loved by all who met her.
