Thank you for ministering mum funeral on Monday. Not only did you guide us through the ceremony , you were so very kind and compassionate and made the occasion very special. I know that Mum would have been delighted that we celebrated her life so perfectly.

Jon was simply amazing. The moment i met JonI instantly knew that he was the man we wanted for mum's minister. Jon guided us through the day of the funeral. He is an extraordinary kind and compassionate minister.

Needless to say, mum’s service was stunning! Everyone loved it, so friendly and personal and that is down to you, thank you so much. The on line attendees particularly loved the touch of turning to wave at them, even though there wasn’t much enthusiasm for it in the room.

I was such a blubbering mess at the service that I have to admit I couldn’t really focus on the day but I did watch parts of it back on the streaming service and it wonderful. Everyone worked so hard to make it special for which G and I are so grateful. I know my mum would have loved it, just the right mix of traditional, religion and family!

Thank you so much for your lovely service yesterday. We were both very worried about there being so few of us but your words were just right and we felt the service would have been just what Mum would have planned.

Thanks so much for everything. It was a beautiful service.

Thank you for today, you bought an elegance and quality to the Service that Dad would have appreciated.

We had the pleasure of Jon conducting the ceremony at our wedding recently. Jon made the whole process easy and put us right at ease. Listened to what we wanted and gave us so many great ideas, many of which we used in the service and our guests loved. Every little detail was considered on the day to ensure we had the most beautiful service, that our friends and family felt part of it, and that it reflected us as a couple. We could not recommend Jon enough as a wedding celebrant, he made it all so amazing and so many of our guests said how great the ceremony was. Thank you Jon, we truly are so grateful for what you created for us.

Thank you so much for the helping us celebrate mum’s life with us, friends and family. I thought the service was perfect and we all got great comfort from such a lovely service saying goodbye to mum.

Thank you for the wonderful Service that you performed yesterday. It was a real comfort, not only to David and I but to dad’s grandchildren and great grandchildren. It truly felt as if we had celebrated the life of a wonderful man and we are truly grateful.

Thank you so much for a lovely service although a very sad time it was a very fitting funeral for my mum. I think she would have been proud

It was a lovely service and I truly hope I made him proud.

Thanks so much yourself ❤️ Jon. Everybody said it was a perfect service.

I would like to offer my sincere thanks to you for your guidance and support in the period leading up to my uncle's funeral. Being so far away from Brighton, the process seemed somewhat daunting at times, but you made it so straightforward. In particular though, I really must say a very big “thank you” for the truly exceptional service that you led on Tuesday afternoon, to celebrate the life of my uncle. Never one for having any great fuss made, I am sure that he would have strongly approved of the simple, yet dignified way in which you created the epilogue to John’s best selling novel – a really lovely analogy, and one which I have never heard before, despite the very large number of funerals that I seem to have attended in recent years.

Once again, many thanks for all your help, support and guidance, which were all very much appreciated.

The service was absolutely beautiful……I wanted to thank you for being so wonderful. It has been a difficult time since Mum passed away, but you have been brilliant. Xx

You have many wise words and they all resonate with me. We are very pleased with celebration of M's life and it was better then we thought it could be. It is all thanks to you, J and J!

So, thank you all for everything you do and did on Monday for us and our family and friends. N and L feel grateful too.

I think you should know, many compliments were coming your way!

Thank you for your help and support throughout and particularly at the funeral which was an incredibly sad and emotional time for J and I, but we take comfort in the lovely service and feel that we gave dad a fitting tribute and he is now reunited with mum and of course Panther!

Thank you for making everything easy for us and for everything we asked of , you , J and J , nothing was never too much trouble, you all went above and beyond and we felt cared for and protected at the funeral which was one of our biggest worries ….. but it could not have gone better thanks to you.

A beautiful service, we said if we had to do it again, there is absolutely nothing we would change. You are an amazing person , we need more Jon’s on this planet for sure.

Once again on behalf of Dad, Chris and I a massive thank you , you have been amazing .

Thank you from all the family, we appreciate the care and attention shown to us.

Thank you so much for being mum's celebrant, my family and friends thought you did an excellent job.

It was a great comfort to have you do mum's service after dads.

Once again many thanks

Many thanks for your guidance and support.

I cannot thank you enough for the service yesterday and I’m so grateful for mum and us to have had you do the service it was lovely and really felt like a good send off for her. You made me feel comfortable with the situation and the way you greeted me straight away when we arrived was so easing, I cannot thank you enough.

Mum is now at rest and will continue to be with us for the rest of our lives and forever in our hearts.

Thank you so much for everything.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for such a wonderful service yesterday. You truly are the kindest man and helped us through this awful process in more ways than you realise. Thank you for caring and thank you for just being that extra support we needed on the day. It really couldn’t have gone any better and I know my Dad would have loved the service and all the lovely things you said about his life. Lots of our friend and family members also commented on how amazing you were, so thank you. Shame the world isn’t full of more people like you.

Thank you so much for yesterday, you were so kind and everything was perfect. All of my family and friends said the same and many of them thought that we knew each other well. You are very good at your job and I couldn't have asked for a better celebrant.

The ceremony came together beautifully; the planning really paid off. We had a lot of complements about the ceremony at the reception afterwards. So a big thank you to you for guiding us through the process and making it a perfect tribute to our mum.

Thank you Jon. It was a wonderful service and I wish you could’ve heard all the lovely comments we had. R and all us family were so pleased that we gave her such a wonderful send off - we are very proud.

It was a special service for my husband and everyone played their part to make it a day of happy memories. He would have approved. Thank you Jon

Thank you on behalf of us all for the wonderful service you gave dad. It was perfect in every way.

We thank you for your kindness and support you gave us from our first meeting right through to Mum’s funeral. Your lovely service was delivered with compassion and gave us comfort on a very emotional day and everyone commented the same

Thank you for your kind words. Feedback from the family was that they all thought it was a fabulous service and captured the essence of my Uncle.

Thank you for all you did to help me through this difficult time in my life. All the detail of the ceremony was just what I had hoped.

Your very sensitive rendering of the Eulogy which you composed, the music and the contribution of the RAF Standard Bearer, all very professional and yet with feeling which I feel was just right to commemorate my husband.

Several people commented on the printed order of service which I feel was very well done, thank you for dealing with that for me.

I thought the service and your eulogy were beautiful, and also thank you for ’Stop the clocks’, it was all lovely.

Thank you for your kind words and for delivering the service so professionally and compassionately yesterday.

I know we were all very pleased with how it went, Thank you.

Thank you so much

Thanks so much for conducting yesterday’s ceremony. It all went very smoothly and everyone has been saying to us how well it summed up Mum’s life and was what she would have wanted. All her family and friends were there to say their final farewells.

Thank you for taking the time to email it was a lovely service, dad would have loved it, I take pride in saying that as we followed his wishes and the day went beautifully.

I just wanted to thank you for a fantastic funeral for my father. We all felt it reflected his personality and you described him very well.

The service was beautiful, we all felt you captured Angus’s life as though you had been his friend. I can’t thank you enough for helping me say goodbye to my remarkable husband! Your presence was highly professional but most of warm and friendly, and as my son said like one of the family almost.

Jon instilled us with confidence to carry out the ceremony confidently and professionally. His attention to detail and knowledge of what was required brilliant. His warm manner bringing comfort to all.

Thank you, Jon - you deserve more than five stars.

Many thanks for your services yesterday, very much appreciated and lots of people have complimented the service.

Thank you so much for all your guidance and support especially on Wednesday we really appreciated it.

Thank you so much for everything you have done for mum and us. You made yesterday so much easier for us.

Everyone commented how lovely the service was and the family were all so impressed by you.

Wednesday was so difficult for us as family, so thank you for your support, help and guidance. After a bereavement there is so much to do regarding the arrangement of a funeral and your support helped get us through those first few weeks as a family, we will never forget that.

Sylvia’s funeral was just lovely. You managed to capture her personality perfectly with the poems you chose. The whole service was just as she would have wanted.

Thank you again for everything you did to get us to the service and your support.

A thank you just doesn't seem enough for the kindness, care and respect that you have given us. If only there were more people in this world like you. You are truly a special human and we wish you all the happiness and good things that life can bring you.

My mums service was perfect. Thank you.

The Oxford family and friends have been in contact and said how much they felt a part of the service.

Also thank you for getting me through the reading,

Whilst not the best of days, you certainly made it the best it could have been and for that we are very very grateful

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the beautiful service you conducted yesterday for mum. Your kindness, sincerity, and genuine warmth was so comforting to us all, and as you had said to us when we first met, we were in a “safe pair of hands”. Losing mum has been so difficult for all of us, and you have certainly helped by enabling us to give mum the send-off she deserved. Your kindness has also meant such a lot to dad - he’s even put a “highlighted” entry in his diary saying how kind you’ve been, and that means it’s official.

Thank you once again. With love and very best wishes.

A wonderfully appropriate service. We can’t thank you enough.

Thank you so much for your beautiful service you delivered today for mum's funeral. Dad was extremely touched by your personal touches and your kindness . It was wonderful how you welcomed dad saying his personal words, which was abit of a surprise for us all, although dad had clearly prepared for it.

Please know you helped us through a difficult time and actually made mum's funeral an enjoyable and memorable occasion.

With many thanks

I just wanted to take the time to thank you for mums service on Tuesday; it was delivered with much sensitivity and sincerity and a much fitting tribute.
Family and friends made very positive comments at the wake.
I appreciate the time and effort that you put into the service and your support following mums passing.

Jon recently delivered the service for my brother Andrew's funeral. Throughout the process, from our initial face-to-face meeting (on his day off) to the final delivery, Jon was compassionate, empathetic and helpful in how he dealt with us. One of my first concerns was how I would manage to read the eulogy. Jon reassured me that I would be able to get through it. He would step in if needed, but not take over as it was important I gave the tribute, even if there were a few glitches. When we went to look at the chapel, he gave useful, practical suggestions. Importantly we felt Jon understood what our brother was like and reflected this in the service. We had very positive feedback from members of the congregation about what a beautiful service they had attended. Our family would highly recommend Jon for any service you are considering.

Just wanted to thank you for today. We couldn't have asked for a nicer goodbye to Daniel.

On behalf of me and my grandad we would like to thank you for a wonderful service.

We did her proud!

Grandad says you’re a “nice bloke” which from him, is high praise indeed!!

Thank you Jon.

You did a fantastic job yesterday, everyone has said how beautiful it was.

You made organising my dads funeral, something that I was dreading, into a moving and rewarding experience, you took most of the pressures off by gently guiding us along the whole route and we thank you very much for that.

I will always remember my Dad’s funeral but not just in a sad way now, for you made it a beautiful celebration of a life well lived.

From all the family we thank you, so, so much and we will have no hesitation in recommending you to others who have lost their loved ones

Than you for leading us through yesterday, I have had numerous messages so far saying what a lovely service it was from people who attended and where viewing online so thank you.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your help, support, kindness and sensitivity that you showed me, J and J at D's funeral yesterday.

You got us through and we feel proud that we spoke and were able to do that ourselves. Your advice about that was "spot on" thank you.

Finally, we feel very lucky it was you who was there for us and I can't thank you enough.

I have put the heart that you kindly gave me in my memory box. A lovely touch.

Where do I start, thank you just isn’t enough to say how wonderful you made things for us on Friday, you walk with us every step of the way, your kindness and empathy was immeasurable, we will be eternally grateful for making M’s send off exactly as we wanted it to be,

All I can say to you is thank you for the beautiful service you put together for my D. It has given me a sense of comfort.

I would like to thank you so much for the beautiful and very moving service, everyone said it was Dad to a 't' as they say, and the story of his life was told exactly as we wanted it to be told.

The saying is so very true, one step at a time, and time is what we need to learn to live with our loss.

You helped me so much to get through an extremely painful process, again thank you.

Thank you for all your support, it was lovely to get to know you.

I just want to thank you for today. Your Eulogy and presence was amazing.

Both you and S made a difficult day that much easier and I can't thank you enough for you care and attention.

I must say the funeral ran beautifully. I have had several requests to thank you and the team for the day – everybody agreed that the eulogy you gave was just right and was most appreciated. It described the essence of Auntie.

We just wanted to thank-you for being the celebrant at E's funeral. We sincerely valued your help and guidance in organising the service for Eric.

Thank you Jon and thank for you yesterday. We are all pleased everything went as well as it could do yesterday for dad. I have realised it all feels pretty final now personally and it's very hard but we will get there. Thanks again. Emma

Thank you, so much for the service you did for R, it was like having family taking the service. We will always e grateful for all your help and knowledge. You are a very special person, Thank you.

Thanks, ever so much, Jon. It was such a lovely service, and you made it very easy. The family all appreciate everything you prepared, it was thoughtfully prepared and the service was seamless.

Thank you for your support before, during and after the service. Our main goal was to celebrate B life and truly reflect that he was the most gentle of gentlemen. I know there was a blip with the music system, but I recall one of B's favourite expressions. ‘ it is what it is’. The main thing was the kindness and patience you showed in dealing with our needs and wishes. Thank you.

We would like to thank you for the beautiful service you delivered for John, it was so warm and respectful for a very dear man.

I know we were a small group , but everyone who attended felt that it was a true representative of his character and you really did John justice.

Thank you for your kind words. But a massive thank you for the service you conducted. With only that brief telephone conversation we had when I stated our family was split and divided, I had no idea how amazing his goodbye would be.

Yesterday helped me a lot with acceptance as it did for the whole family.

As we all met afterwards for further closure and lunch everyone commented how smoothly and professionally the service went , that was largely down to you for which I am respectfully grateful.

Just a quick note to thank you so much for everything that you brought to Mum’s service.

Your words and delivery were perfect and everyone felt touched by the send off that we gave her.

We all thought it was a beautiful service and very fitting and most importantly, Mum would’ve loved it.

Monday was a very emotional day and we felt completely overwhelmed. We definitely feel that he had a good send off and all our family and friends felt it was a very personal tribute to Bob which is what we wanted. Thank you for your help in organizing everything.

Your service was honestly just perfect for my husband, me, his daughters & family. The ideal combination of respect, faith & fun. So pleased it was able to go ahead as we'd wished.

Thank you so much for conducting his final goodbye so beautifully...we felt as though you'd known him personally....the total essence of him!

We would like to thank you for such a lovely service yesterday. Although you didn’t meet Dad you managed to bring so much of him into the funeral and it made it feel like he was there with us. The rest of the family were also very moved and said that if there is such a thing as a good funeral, this is it. My Auntie even said it was the nicest funeral she had attended. So much of this was down to you and your gentle and faithful guidance, your faith bolstered ours yesterday and I’m so grateful for that.

Thank you so much for everything you done, the service was beautiful and I appreciate all your kind words.

We would all like to say what a wonderful service you created for my wife.

You have made a very sad day into something more bearable for us.

Everybody commented on how nice a service it was with plenty to celebrate about Patricia's wonderful life.

Just wanted to say a big thank you for today and the words you chose to send my Uncle off in such a fitting manner. Your words about painting and then later about the stars & elements were really touching and the Family (both there in-person and watching online) were all pleased how personalised everything was. My Father and Brother said it was very moving. Also, an additional personal thank you from me too for being on hand for support while I spoke my words and also for letting me get through it in my own way. It was hard but I’m so pleased I managed it.

Thanks, Jon for doing Mums service, everyone said how lovely it was, you made the whole process so much easier.

Everyone who spoke of you yesterday said what a lovely person you are, and we all agree you do your job so well and so professional and compassionate.

Myself and all the family want to say a big thank you for making Jeffs day run so smoothly and making us all feel so comfortable with everything, we couldn’t have done it without you.

We certainly don’t want to go to anymore funerals at the moment but would highly recommend anyone to contact you if they are in need of a celebrant.

Thank you jon the service was perfect. My mum would have been so proud. Everybody at the service was very happy that they could celebrate mum's life the way we did. From the beginning to the end of the day it was very very special so thank you once again.

Thank you so much for taking mums service, you made it feel so personal and special for mum.

Everyone at the wake said what a brilliant job you did, and how it felt like you knew her.

I will always be grateful.

Jon, I just want to thank you for celebrating my wife’s life. Many of our family and friends who attended we impressed by what you said and described her character.

Thanks for everything! I was very happy with how everything went, all very smoothly. I know we were on a deadline, but it didn't feel rushed, a testament to your great timekeeping no doubt.

My father-in-law said it was the best funeral service he has been to and sadly now, he has been to quite a few.

Thanks also for the script and folder, that's a lovely touch and I will keep it in my memory box.

Thank you so much for these and for a wonderful service yesterday. We were absolutely thrilled with everything you put together and for all the effort you put in, thanks again.

Thank you for yesterday, we felt it went very well, and thank you for making it a special send off for dad.

Thank you for being The Celebrant at my Mum’s funeral. It had a nice celebratory feel as you read out the Eulogy with the sun streaming through the windows… although a bit on the chilly side.

Thank you Jon,

You did us proud. I’m content that the service was at the right pitch for Dad. A

little bit of humour through his music choice and your perfectly apt poem.

I’ve had a few texts and phone calls from family who all felt that the service

went well.

Thank you so much for your care and compassion whilst organising Dad’s service. It truly is a gift that you have to take the information we gave you and turned it into such a complete and fitting tribute to dad. Thank you so much.

I’d sincerely like to thank you for the beautifully presented copies

of my Dad’s funeral service. That was very kind of you. You have gone above

and beyond. All the very best.

Thank you so much for everything you have done.
You seriously went above and beyond and I am truly thankful. You delivered a beautiful and perfect goodbye for my Nan.
From the first zoom call, we knew you were the perfect person to be my nan's celebrant.

It didn’t feel like you were doing a job or a paid service it felt like a friend and someone who truly cared. You made it so much easier organising the service for Mum, Shell and me.

Jon, I was very pleased with how the service went yesterday It couldn't have

Gone any better, thank you very much for being so kind to us all at such a difficult

time.

I could not have wished for a better service or better celebrant for mum. I am sure you would have both got on well if you had met and felt from the minute I read your web page you would be perfect.

I am glad we took your advice about everything, I think it finally hit home today but feel happy we could give her the funeral she deserved.

Thank you so much for everything… The service you delivered for my brother was perfect. You were so compassionate to the whole family who has found his death so difficult, but your empathy and understanding has helped so much. From the bottom of my heart thank you.

I'm lost for words and you have done my dad proud. From the bottom of my heart thank you.
