The day was as perfect as these things can be and it all came together perfectly, despite the roadworks…
The strangest compliment of the day was the claim that it was the “best funeral she’d ever been to!”

“Organising a funeral at any time is an emotionally charged and raw event, hopefully you will receive the appropriate support from your nominated funeral directors.
Sadly, I recently had to organise the funeral for my late wife, an amazing and unique woman. I was put in contact with Claire Fraser to act as celebrant for the service. My first question of her was “Are you up for a challenge?” the answer was an emphatic “yes”. Claire then spent many hours with us, ensuring attention to detail in the preparation of both the service in general and the tribute in particular. It was clear to me that Claire also spent many additional hours to bring all the supplied information together to provide the service we wished for.
On the day of the funeral under the spotlight of those present, and those joining via livestream around the world, Claire’s professionalism shone through, her delivery was faultless and her service was everything I had hoped for.
Days after the service, Claire continued to provide support in supplying a memorial folder for myself and immediate family, that may reflect on the day at a future time, which has been greatly appreciated.
By now you should have absolute confidence, that should you find yourself in need of a celebrant, I can offer no higher recommendation than Claire Fraser.”

The crematorium service was conducted so professionally and meticulous attention to the details we requested thoughtfully executed. Everyone at Trenhaile’s should congratulate themselves on a first class service. From Lizzy, Oliver and yourself nothing was any trouble and the entire team made us feel relaxed.
Despite it being a very sad day, it could not have been more perfect.
No one wants to lose a loved one, but I certainly would have no hesitation recommending your services to anyone who would have need.
Once again, thank you from the whole family for a superb service.”

” We were hugely impressed with your input today. It absolutely transformed my mother’s funeral into a very calm and fitting occasion and provided the dignity for which we were looking, graciousness being one of her most defining features.
Among other things we couldn’t help but notice that you picked up on “The Solitary Traveller” as being indicative of her character, recognising that she was very self-contained; this is one reason why we chose that piece. That speaks volumes for your intuitive understandig of human nature and was reflected in every one of the words that you contributed throughout.

I was so proud of my family and M had a lovely send off and like you said she would have been proud.

“I’m horrified on your behalf, and completely delighted, selfishly, that you are still taking care of work related things at almost 11pm, but I suspect it speaks volumes about you in terms of your compassion and understanding that when you’ve just lost someone you really cared about, the feelings don’t knock off at 6pm so it’s lovely to receive such a loving thoughtful email. I’m just delighted you are so invested.”

“I’d like to say how beautiful and caring the content of your package was. I cried a lot. I also smiled and had all my immediate family comment on how personal it was all presented. Thank you so much, I never expected this at all. It will take pride of place along side all of dad’s special belongings I kept as keepsakes. I hope you realise just how nice a person you are ”

Your help with the order of service and the preparing and delivering the eulogy was invaluable and I would heartily recommend you to others, especially for your practicality and sense of humour.”
