Sons funeral
Our funeral directors put us in touch with Russ who called to our house and we discussed our late sons life , achievements in detail and he drafted a copy of his eulogy along with our music requests
Russ handled the service perfectly on what was a tragic day for us all
I have no problem recommending anyone to use Russ services when you meet Russ you will know exactly what mean
5 star service thanks Russ .
Funeral of Winifred McConville
Russ came recommended to us via the funeral director and we couldn’t of asked for better. Although Religious my Grandmother didn’t want a Religious service.
Russ guided us through the whole process and was able to piece together our little stories of Gran to create a beautiful eulogy. I honestly cannot thank you enough. You made a difficult time that little bit easier Thank you.
Couldn’t have done better
My mother’s funeral was held yesterday, with Russ as the Celebrant, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He listened to the family tales of mum’s life and then encapsulated the information to form the basis of the eulogy, which he delivered perfectly. Every person who attended mentioned what a good job Russ did in blending the ‘facts and feelings’ surrounding mum’s long life.
I am a Chaplain and often officiate at weddings and funerals myself, so I speak from some experience when I say that hiring Russ was an excellent choice and I highly recommend his services.
