Janet Celia presented a beautiful memorial service for our father, with the perfect combination of warmth and gravitas. She is calm and well prepared and helped us to write a fitting eulogy which she read, on our behalf, at the service.

We planned everything via telephone as we are not local to the service location, everything was kept to time, without issues, and all those who attended commented on the lovely service.

Thank you, Helen and Debbie

Morning Janet, I don’t really know where to start……..what an amazing day it was yesterday.

Just a quick email to thank you for the  brilliant job you did as celebrant  for the funeral of my mum (Beryl Turner)

at Thornhill on 8 April. I was hugely impressed by your meticulous preparation, professionalism and empathy, both before and during the service.  Several attendees commented to me about how well the whole thing went and specifically praised you for keeping it all on track, and setting the right tone.  You made a difficult day much easier for me and the family.   

I certainly know who to recommend should anyone else be searching for a celebrant! 

Best regards, Nigel Turner​​​

Janet Celia recently helped prepare with us, our dads eulogy, taking time and care to make sure it was right.

Once ready, Janet then read our dad’s eulogy in the first person, with respect,understanding

and with great confidence and emphasis.

Janet also went further and found Jake our dad 'the hauliers' poem' ,

which she read out loud, outside the church on a cold day from the top of a Foden lorry.

Thank you Janet for your personal and professional attention to detail and overall care.

Jan helped me and my family during the hardest time of our life,

when we lost our beloved mum. Jan was there to help us through it.

In her moving yet funny eulogy, she managed to capture all of my mum’s humour

and sensibilities allowing all in attendance to grieve with a smile on their face.
She gave comfort to us all and I will always be grateful for this.
I can’t remember if I thanked her on the day as it went by in such a blur
but I would like to take this opportunity to thank her sincerely from the heart.

Robert and I wanted to thank you, the service you provided was excellent, sensitive and comforting.
The attendees were touched as were relatives who watched the service remotely as they weren't able to travel. 

I hope that other families will feel the same gratitude for the professional and kind service you afforded to us.

Sincere best wishes, Shelagh and Robert Lewis

As a family we asked Janet to conduct the Celebration of life at our late Mum's funeral

Janet was so understanding and considerate to all of our

needs for Mum's day. I wasn't the easiest as I kept changing my mind on what
I wanted to be said about Mum, and she couldn't have been more patient with me...

even down to sitting at the end of the phone for nearly two hours

while we went through the service. On the day Janet was so lovely,

impeccably dressed and the day couldn't have gone any better. 

A sad day really was a celebration of Mum's life.

We cannot recommend her highly enough.

John and the boys wanted me to thank you so much for everything you did.

It was a wonderful service and your thoughtful and considerate professionalism shone through; it really did.  

Everyone talked so highly of you and I'm so grateful that we found you. As someone said to me on the day,

'if you didn't know Val going into that service, you knew her as you left it!'

Thank you a million times over, Maria x

I just wanted to thank you for the help, support and kindness you have given us whilst preparing for mum’s funeral.

Your professional, but very personal manner gave us comfort in the knowledge that mum’s service was in safe hands. You were thorough in your preparation and the delivery was impeccable. So many people commented later on how much they enjoyed

(if that’s the right word) the funeral. The tone and pace was spot on.

With heartfelt appreciation, Helen, Clare and Paul

​​​​​

Sue and I wanted to thank you very much indeed for the kind, compassionate and professional way in which you conducted the arrangements and the funeral for Mo Harris. We felt that the day went extremely well, without a hitch, and thought that the service, and your kind words, were a fitting tribute to Mo. Very many thanks again.

We would just like to thank you for the wonderful service you provided for mum and our family.

The eulogy you delivered was a lovely tribute to our beloved mother and gave us as a family a feeling of closure. 

As soon as I met you, I knew we were in capable and caring hands, so once again thank you so much.

I chose Janet purely from a photograph after typing ‘celebrants near me’ in to Google’s search bar!
She looked respectable, the right age bracket and friendly! I phoned her and we arranged to meet up.
We instantly understood each other and from that point onwards it was all very easy
and the funeral service was perfect. I would recommend Janet to anyone.

She was respectful of my mother’s wishes for there to be no religious element to the service,

she was reliable, helpful, smart and conducted the service very well indeed.
