I wanted my wife’s service to feel like a celebration not just a mourning. Jo understood. She helped me craft a eulogy that was enthusiastic, casual and genuinely funny-which was exactly who she was.
She handled the heavy lifting when I was too overwhelmed to think straight and the result was a service which our guests are still talking about.
Absolutely top tier support.

Jo was amazing in putting together the perfect eulogy for our mum. Took time on the finer details to capture a true picture of mum, her family, friends and life. Jo oozes compassion and understanding, we could not have wished for more. Thank you ❤️

Words can not express my gratitude enough to Jo. She was professional, empathetic and empowering from start to finish. Putting together a wonderful and truly reflective eulogy for my parents to finally be reunited together.
Jo encouraged me to use music that meant something to my parents, helping in a moment of sadness to bring back those fond, happy and cherished memories shared with them was perfect on the day.
Thank you so much Jo, for all your time and the support on the day. Making a sad occasion a memorable one that was fitting to my parents.

Jo is absolutely brilliant; she helped us put together a lovely service to say goodbye to our mum.
I felt so comfortable chatting with Jo, she made it easy to come up with the details for the service, helping us to remember some of the funnier things that were added in to her eulogy.
Many people on the day commented: ‘what a lovely service’ and I will always look back on that day with a smile rather than sadness, a huge part of that is down to Jo making it feel so special and making us feel she was there just for us. Thank you Jo

I just want to thank you for your support these few months. Your understanding and patience has meant a lot to me.
Your job is highly valuable and appreciated, however your genuine kindness truly stands out.

A beautiful service for a lovely much loved lady. Jo is empathetic supportive and respectful. Her personalised ceremony reflected sadness but was uplifting, including personal memories, both sad and uplifting, perfectly balanced.

Jo is totally amazing. The hardest thing to face in losing a son was made easier with the help and empathy of Jo’s kindness care and sincerity. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I’ve seen a few celebrants in my time and Jo just knocks the spots off them all. Anyone facing a traumatic and sad time would be hard pushed to find anyone better to guide them through a sad time. Thank you Jo for making such a sad time a bit more bearable.

Just a quick note of thanks for the support you provided as we said goodbye to my Dad.
You were pro active in making contact with me once you’d been engaged by Rosedale, and you visited us in our home - which made the initial discussion far more comfortable for us.
We spent some time going through the approach we wanted to take, and you made comments as you saw things we needed to consider.
We particularly appreciated you keeping in touch prior to the funeral and the fact that you “owned” the co ordination on the day of the funeral.
Your delivery of the Eulogy , the grandchildrens’ tribute and the poem” If “was very polished and added much to the plain words.
A number of family members commented afterwards(to me) that it had been a very nice very fitting tribute – which I think sums it up quite well.
Thanks again

From the very first phone call Jo had shown empathy, support and compassion through this sad experience.
Jo encouraged us to recall Dad in our way to put together an eulogy reflecting Dads life perfectly.
Thank you Jo for your support and guidance on the day.

Fabulous Celebrant.
Jo was the perfect celebrant for my friend’s wedding. The service reflected them both perfectly. I would highly recommend Jo for your wedding.

Jo was a fantastic celebrant throughout the whole process of organising dad's funeral. She was keen to take the time to listen to my sister and I talking about Dad and his life. This ensured the tribute she wrote really reflected him as a person. We had no experience of planning a funeral but Jo held our hand every step of the way and made herself available to us if we had any questions or needed her opinion on parts of the service.
On the day of the funeral, Jo supported us as a family before the service started, conducted a beautiful service and was a reassuring presence after the service before we left for the wake.

Jo is a very organised and discreet Celebrant. She makes everyone feel a part of the day by including names and looking towards those concerned. A caring speech just as we spoke about him before hand.
The main point to make is that afterwards many people asked if she had known him long as she captured his essence so well. An excellent choice on our part.
JV Tasburgh
Jo was just amazing from start to finish.. she really helped shape our informal ceremony to reflect us and our day. We definitely needed some guidance and direction and she was exactly the right person for the job!
She spent quality time getting to know us and our relationship to be able to deliver a ceremony that captured us and our wedding perfectly. She was totally professional but also warm and supportive.
On the day it was great to know that she had everything under control so we could relax and enjoy our celebration. She also dealt brilliantly with the groom going amusingly off-script a couple of times during the ceremony!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jo and everyone present thought she totally delivered. Thank you!
JB Kesgrave
I thought Jo acted with total professionalism whilst allowing for the various unplanned parts of the ceremony.
She was warm, kind and caring and helped me deal with a hitch that was definitely outside her remit but added to the ceremony immensely.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for other couples...
CK Coddenham
Jo was so professional but made mum’s funeral a joyous occasion, celebrating her life and her family.
She has a very comforting way about her and helped make the day special and memorable in mums honour.
