Hi Rachel,
On behalf myself, Helen and Alex we would like to thank you so much for the care and attention you put into Innis's service today.
Everyone was complementing on how personal it was to Innis and you captured his personality to a T.
Also thank you for the gift, these will be put outside Innis's home, and it will always be a loving memory of him.
Kindest regards,
Christina, Helen and Alex x

Rachel done a wonderful service for my uncle and she was absolutely incredible not only did she help me through such a difficult day she also called me the day before just to ask how I was and to let me know know that she would be with me every step of the way. As far as a celebrant goes and as far as a genuinely kind and caring person goes Rachel is by far the best I’ve ever met and I would 100% recommend this lady to everyone who is looking to give their loved ones a beautiful and heartfelt send off

After the sudden and heartbreaking loss of my brother-in-law in 2021, Rachel was entrusted with leading the service—and she carried it out with such grace and beauty that it stayed with us. When we experienced another loss in the family this year, there was never any doubt about who we would turn to.
Rachel has a remarkable way of honouring a life by celebrating how it was lived, rather than dwelling on its end. In doing so, she transformed an incredibly painful day into one filled with pride, love, and deep reflection. Once again, she captured the true spirit and essence of our loved one, delivering a service that was both moving and profoundly meaningful.
Thank you for your thoughts and professionalism. The family are grateful for your respect and comfort

Hey Rachel,
I just wanted to get in touch to thank you for speaking the words my mum had written for my Gran at her funeral.
I don’t think you realise how much that meant to us as a family. We were everything to my Gran, and she was everything to us.
I hope you’re enjoying the beautiful weather, and please know that what you do truly makes a difference to families going through the loss of someone so close.
My Gran would have absolutely loved it...I’m certain of that.
Best wishes,
Olivia

When my mum passed away there was only 1 person we wanted to do thr service for us and that was Rachel. Rachel had also done my dad's service in 2023.
Rachel captures the true person in her ceremonies after meeting with family. Rachel shows such compassion when learning about the person, also very compassionate with the family. She delivers the most amazing celebrations of life, myself and my family would like to thank rachel for making a very difficult time easier to manage.

Rachel recently took the service for my Dads funeral, she carried this out with great compassion and professionalism. From the first meeting to putting the service together as well as the service on the day, Rachel could not have been more helpful. It is not the circumstances I would wish anyone to be in but I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone to help them through it.

Thank you Rachel for the lovely service you gave for our mum Helen Donachie. You kept us informed right from when we first contacting you until after the wake. You also did my dad's service four years ago with the same genuine dignity and professionalism.

From the moment we met Rachel we knew we had the right person for our lovely mum Isabels funeral. She was so kind and compassionate and made hard days that bit easier. She absolutely captured mums nature, from the sad parts to even a few funny parts as well. We also had Rachel come and say a few words at our mums ashes internment as well. Folk who attended mums funeral complimented Rachel on how she relayed mums service, all said it was a beautiful service and send of for our precious mum. Definitely recommend Rachel if sadly you need her serviced xx

Our family would like to thank Mrs Jaconelli for the lovely service she conducted for our Auntie. This is the 3rd time we have used her services and once again she did us proud. She is excellent at her job and also a very caring lady who maintains professionalism at every level. I have no hesitation in recomending her to anyone who needs the services of a Celebrant.
