Funeral | 12/04/2022 | Southern Cemetery, South Manchester

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.

Funeral | 02/15/2022 | Manchester

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.
