Some Kind Words From 2015

We were so relieved to have found someone who could take on the funeral of our mum so sensitively. From our initial call with Judith, we felt comforted and our wishes understood. I was grateful that you could come to my house where I was comfortable, to make the funeral arrangements. Judith was always available and going that extra mile with our requests. The day of the funeral was perfect, it all went as well as we had hoped. Attention to detail was spot on, well organised and managed.

 

Judith immediately understood what I was going through, she was very approachable and kind, extremely patient and knowledgeable. Judith was always available, reassuring me in every way. Her attention to detail was touching. Judith continued her care wonderfully after the funeral too.

 

I found Judith  always most sensitive, thoughtful, empathetic and kind – when I was at my most vulnerable.

Before the burial she was efficient and clear and phoned to let me know that my husband was with her – this meant a great deal to me. At the burial she was unobtrusive and quietly directed the pallbearers to place the coffin over the grave and then gently lower it. Throughout she stood at the back. She led me through the process in the most sensitive way.

May I sincerely thank you for the considerate and compassionate way you handled the arrangements at what was a difficult time for my family and myself.

As a Minister officiating at a service organised by Judith Dandy from Dandelion Farewells, I was really impressed by the evident care and attention she took in taking care of the deceased, and in ensuring that the needs and wants of the family were fully met before, during and after the funeral.

 

I was very grateful for all your efforts last Friday. You handled the whole thing with great professionalism but also with such sensitivity and warmth. Everyone thought it was such a comforting and satisfying occasion.

 

We are very pleased with the way the morning went. We all came away with the feeling of having done the correct thing, and that **** would have approved. We felt much more at ease than on previous funerals we have attended, partly because there were no ‘rules’ and also because we did not have to listen to someone talk about **** knowing that they had never even met.

 

Thank you so much for the care and attention you showed our mum and us. Your care and kind guidance helped us at this very difficult time in our lives, and we are for ever grateful for that.

From the very first time my sister and I spoke to Judith about our mum’s funeral she made a very difficult time easier for us. She explained everything clearly, gave us advice and was always knowledgeable and calm. Thank you Judith – the service you provide really is second to none.

 

Thank you for making such a difficult time more bearable. Your guidance and support was invaluable and we can’t thank you enough for your part in looking after my mum and ensuring she had the send-off she deserved.

 

Thank you very much for your coordination of mum’s burial. Your sympathetic attention to detail and clear communication with us has meant that we felt smoothly supported in the arrangements. Now we are ready to celebrate and say our farewells. With grateful thanks.

 

Judith, your quiet support was so good to have in the background of all our thoughts for the day and preparations, and your lovely presence at the funeral was invaluable. I woke the following day with a deep sense of peace and calm, to which I feel sure you contributed.
