We were fortunate enough to have Kathryn as the celebrant for our Mom's funeral. She made what was a very difficult day much more bearable. When we met up beforehand Kathryn really listened to what we wanted and made Mom's funeral a real celebration of her life. She managed to convey the impact she had as our Mom and as a Grandmother. The event felt 'lighter' than expected which was very much appreciated and down to Kathryn's bright yet respectful manner. Thank you for encouraging us to carry Mom in .... It was a real honour to do that for her. Forever grateful for your input.

We were very lucky to be able to have Kathryn conduct the service for a very cherished Wife, Mom, Nan, Mother-in-Law and friend. Our Al had seen Kathryn at a funeral service she attended a few weeks prior, Al said when I go I want her to do my funeral, never in a million years did we think a few weeks later we’d unexpectedly lose Al and would actually be planning said funeral. Despite being very busy we were very lucky to be able to have Kathryn agree to do the service. Kathryn spent time with us, listening to us tell her all about our loved one and our happy memories, and she delivered the most beautiful service, it was everything we could’ve hoped for. All of the guests at the funeral have said how brilliant Kathryn was, and so many have asked for her details for future use. We all said if she was here, Al would’ve loved Kathryn as a person and how well they’d of gotten on. Kathryn brought a light to one of the saddest days of our life, and at points she even had people laughing during the funeral service and the funny memories we have of Al, which is EXACTLY what Al would’ve wanted - for us to remember her in happiness rather than misery. It was truly a service like no other and we are beyond grateful to Kathryn for everything, but particularly the compassion she has shown us all. On behalf of all of Al’s family and friends, a huge thank you xxx

Kathryn recently headed the service at my husbands Stephens funeral It was a different type of service as my husband died suddenly and myself and family struggled to accept that he had gone. So we all wrote letters me to my husband Claire to her dad and the grandchildren to their grandad telling him how much we loved and missed him and what memories we will keep in our hearts forever which Kathryn read out with sincerity and empathy there was a lot of people at the service and everyone told me how beautiful it had been. I think we all did him proud including yourself Kathryn so thank you from myself and family Marie xxx

I feel that it was fate that I met Kathryn. She was the celebrant at a friend's service, I got chatting to her at the end of the service, she was so approachable and friendly. I asked her for details so I could recommend her to others- I didn't think for one minute that it would be me that would be needing her services. 11 days later, my Mom passed away suddenly, and with no warning. Upon calling Kathryn, she said she would be honoured to deliver my Mom's service for us. She managed to turn a tragic experience into a smoother one for us all. She sat with me, my family and close friends and listened to funny stories about my lovely Mom, she then turned all of her notes and bullet points into the most amazing eulogy, she managed to bring through my Mom's energetic character even though Kathryn had never met her. We were blown away by her support all the way through, it's not just a 'job' to Kathryn, it's more. She started off as the celebrant for my Mom's service, and has ended up as a friend.

My sister passed away suddenly at the age of 42. It was a massive shock to the whole family. Kathryn is a friend of mine and I knew straight away she was the right person for the funeral. She went above and beyond to help us to get through this very difficult time. She spend many hours with me, my parents and my sisters partner. She made sure all of the family had a mention in the service and a memory that they shared about my sister. Those that came to the service thought that Kathryn knew my sister personally as she had done such a good job interpreting our memories. She was amazing. I highly recommend her. She also kept checking how we were after the service and provided information about bereavement services locally for my parents.

Navigating the funeral arrangements for my aunt was an incredibly difficult process, but from our very first meeting, Kathryn provided a source of calm and genuine support. She was a fantastic celebrant, and her presence made a profound difference to the entire ceremony.<br>Kathryn's professionalism was immediately evident in her meticulous approach to every detail. She took the time to listen to our stories, understand my aunt's life, and beautifully weave these memories into a service that felt deeply personal and authentic. Her poise and clear delivery gave us confidence that everything was in capable hands, allowing us to focus on remembering and grieving.<br>Beyond her professionalism, it was Kathryn’s remarkable empathy that truly set her apart. She had a unique ability to connect with our family on an emotional level, offering comfort without intrusion. Her words were spoken with profound compassion, and she held the space for both sorrow and celebration. She didn't just officiate a ceremony; she guided us through a heartfelt farewell with grace and warmth. We are so grateful for her service, which honored my aunt's memory in the most beautiful and respectful way.

I tasked Kathryn with providing my Dad's service this week. I was met with warmth, understanding and compassion as we talked through the service and made the day the way I wanted it to be, respecting both mine and my dads wishes. I never felt rushed or under pressure to make decisions and I was kept informed of the process throughout. Kathryn delivered her service, and I had so many people comment how beautiful the day was, she made it wonderful and ensured a hard day was made easier by her wonderful personality and the light she brings with her. Thank you so much for everything. I will be forever grateful.
