Another wonderful five star review from a lovely family for an incredible lady. She grew up in Africa, then forged a great life for herself in Norwich, making friends wherever she went. An amazing story - and an absolute privilege to tell it! Thank you C and E ) and Adam, of course!) for trusting me with your lovely mum. Xx
“On behalf of all our family, we just wanted to thank you Jill so much for such a wonderful service you carried out for our beloved mum.
Your personal touches, tone of voice and softness made us truly believe you knew her whilst she was alive, which was so lovely.
We really cannot thank you enough, it really was a beautiful service and a fitting farewell to a very special lady, our gorgeous mum.”

Goodness gracious me - so lovely to receive feedback like this… and so good to know I was able to help. 🖤🖤
Thank you so much Jill. From the moment we met you we felt at ease and knew you’d be the right celebrant for our dad’s service. Your kindness and quiet assurances were just so helpful to us all. We really couldn’t have done this without you. Everyone said the service was wonderful - dad would have loved it! You are now our family celebrant - but hopefully we won’t see you too often! Thank you so very much. K, J, A and B.

What an amazingly wonderful farewell for Mel yesterday, at the Ramsholt Arms (of ‘Yesterday’ fame). So many people to say goodbye; family and friends who just loved this unique lady so much. What a woman and what a privilege. Xx

It’s HERE! The first ever Funeral Celebrant Day, acknowledging the great work of funeral celebrants across the nation. Please feel free to tag a funeral celebrant below and tell them how fabulous they are, or perhaps you could write an ode or a poem to acknowledge the fantastic work you all do.

We’ll start you off …

A Ode to the Funeral Celebrant,
by Anon in the AOIC office! (Apologies to the poet laureates among you!!)

A family calls, a celebrant hears,
A shoulder to lean on through falling tears,
A gentle unwavering guiding hand,
As a family searches through unfamiliar land.

The celebrant ponders while heading for home,
Considering feelings of those now alone,
Tired and weary they put up their feet,
Content that a busy day is complete.

A family has now laid a loved one to rest,
The celebrant knows they are truly blessed,
A piece of the jigsaw as life finds its end,
To help on the journey a loved one and friend.

A lovely end to the week; a bit mucky weather wise, lots of rain , lots of tears- but lots of love for an amazing dad, who never said no. What more can you ask! A lovely man. 🖤🖤

What a heartwarming week I’m having. A lovely send-off today for a lady who loved to simply laugh and potter and, you know, often, that’s enough… She will be sadly missed by her very loving family and friends. 🖤
