Your words, tone and the way the speech was delivered were perfect for my Dad and everybody was very complimentary afterwards and so I wanted to extend my thanks for making a difficult event that little bit easier.”

“Martin was recommended by a friend and we are very grateful that he was, as he played an important part in our dad’s funeral. Martin is friendly and professional and after our meeting with him we felt we didn’t need to worry about the service. Many people asked afterwards if he was a family friend as it sounded as he knew our dad - this is a real skill of his. We cannot thank Martin enough for his support and whilst it was the saddest occasion for our family, the service was such a comfort”

Thank you for your prior preparation, and presence as celebrant for the duration of the funeral for our father. From first meeting you in person to plan the arrangements, to the last refrains filling the air from the Highland piper on the day, you truly delivered an immaculate service in honour of our father who was a military veteran. The South Chapel was an appropriate setting, we can all rest assured that our father’s last wishes were met fully.
Thank you so much, it has been our pleasure to have made your acquaintance. I will feel able to recommend you to others.”
