Rachel recently carried out our Dad's service & it was extremely heartfelt and upbeat. Rachel was in contact the week prior to the funeral and nothing was too much trouble. She gathered our notes about Dad and turned them into a beautiful funny and upbeat service which summed him up to a tee x

James Chass Chalmers thank you Rachel from the bottom of my heart for the beautiful service for capturing the man I loved to a tee. He would have said that

Thank you from all the family for the heartfelt, funny and utterly perfect send off for my Dad. You captured him to a tee. We were dreading the service but you made it so bareable. You are so kind and caring which showed in how you settled Mum at the meeting and also before the service. I would highly recomend you to everyone who needs a humanist as you are amazing at what you do. Well done Ms Jaconelli.

Rachel came round my mums house a week or so before the service, made us all feel at ease, my dads cremation was on Friday 9th Dec, Rachel was fantastic and delivered the best service my dad would have loved it, everyone commented after the service how lovely it was. 

Thanks again Rachel 

Excellent service and well presented. The whole family loved everything you did for us and made life easier for us because you did all the work . We thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💕 

I just want to say thankyou so much to Rachel, you gave my little girl the most beautifulest send off, I’ll be forever greatful, your such a beautiful soul inside and out 🤍

It was a great service, everyone loved the tone of the service and the way it was written. Cant thank you enough for giving my dad the send off he deserved and would highly recommend you to anyone that asked.

A huge thank you Rachel for the beautiful service for my Mum Jessie on Thursday last week. You spent time with us getting to know about my mum and you put together a lovely service which had its funny moments and stories but also very personal to our family. 

Thanks again Fiona and family ❤️🌈

Hi Rachel,

I just wanted to thank you for your service on Friday.  You did a great job and you helped me enormously.

Best wishes,

Hi Rachel

Just like to say a big thank you for the service you did for my Chivonne. People said Marcus and myself did Chivonne proud, but it was you who put things together to make it so liked by all who commented on it. They spoke highly of you. 

Once again, thank you so much Rachel. 

Kind regards John & Marcus 

 Rachel delivered a great service to give my mum the send off she deserved. Rachel spent 2hrs with the family to get enough information to make the service special to all and consulted with us to make sure everything was perfect for mum's funeral service on the 2nd of November. We would highly recommend Rachel if anyone needs someone to make the day special for a loved ones send off.

The family can't thank Rachel enough for the lovely heart warming service that Rachel gave for our mum. We couldn't have picked a more loving and warm hearted person to do this. Thanks again from all the family and we would highly recommend Rachel to anyone at their time of sadness xx

Sadly, this is my 3rd time requiring Rachel's services in the past 13 months. Forever grateful for her warmth, kindness and true professionalism when helping me arrange my Lovely Mum's Goodbye service. Rachel takes her time, listens intently and captures the Loved one perfectly. Thanks for everything Rachel ♥️🌈

I can't thank Rachel Jaconelli enough for the wonderful, caring, funny and thoughtful service for our Dad. You have a special gift Rachel. From the first time I met you, I just knew you were the perfect person to conduct the service. You put us all at ease and really listened to all out stories and she even made the tea and coffee for us, in our home, when it all got too much...you are so kind and caring. I heard you have been nominated for best celebrant for Scotland and have to say you so deserve to win and our fingers are crossed for you, but regardless you have the vote and a gold star from The Cairns Family.....sending love to you and your family. Mary and Bill

Rachel lead the service for my mum Margaret Law you sadly passed away on Monday 26 September 2022. She was utterly sincere, extremely gracious and totally professional. Her beautiful words captured the life and spirit of my mum brilliantly too accordingly. On behalf of my dad Gordon, brothers Adam and Gordon and sister Karen and our wider family I’d like to thank Rachel for an outstanding service.

I would just like to leave a great review for Rachel after she did the service for my dads service on the 4th October 2022! 

Rachel, you did a fantastic job, made our stories about dad laughable which is what we wanted. You were amazing from the day we met to talk about to dad till the day of the service and didn’t have any problems at all. Thanks again from myself, my brother dean and all off the family. ❤️

On behalf of the family and our friends I would like to thank you for conducting the service for Donny Finlayson on 28th September. 

Your kindness, consideration and patience was so lovely and much appreciated. 

When you came to speak to the family about Donny, you took your time, made us feel relaxed and comfortable and allowed us to remember Donny in our own time. 

My sisters and brother have asked me to let you know how much they appreciate the manner in which the service was conducted and how much it captured the personality and spirit of our lovely, beautiful brother. 

Thank you

Rachel done the service for my papa's funeral. I can't thank her enough for all her help from start to finish and for such a lovely service 

The best thanks again Rachel u did my daughter Lauren's funeral and did us all proud thanks againxx

Rachel conducted the service for my father and it was wonderful. She encapsulated my father perfectly in what was a celebration of his life and loves. You made my mum feel at ease and she took a real shine to you. He would have approved, I’m sure. Thank you Rachel. 

The service Rachel conducted for mum was wonderful and I am sure she would have approved of it. We raised a few laughs during the service due to mums very unique personality. Friends and family commented on what a good send off mum got and it was tailored to our wishes. Thanks again Rachel.

Rachel conducted the service for my father on 1 September 2022, my family and I can’t thank her enough for the detail that she put into the service. 

It captured my father perfectly and there were several comments from those attending the service of how well you spoke and that the stories, and memories of my father gave them a new view of the life that he had lived. 

I cannot recommend her highly enough. 

Hi Rachel ,  

I’d just like to thank you once again for the beautiful service you did for us  today , we could not have wanted for a better send off for our mum.

Kindest regards 

Una ( Johnny, Billy & Margaret)

When my dad passed away, I wanted a celebration of his life and my Husbands family had already used Rachel for their dad. She really gets to know the person and the family. The delivery of her service is heartfelt, joyful, funny stories, thought provoking too, tailored to however you wish it to be. Rachel is such a warm hearted person who also offers advice and links on bereavement services. I would not hesitate to use her again and would highly recommend her to you. Dont worry about thinking 'what am i going to say to her' she will be the one to guide you. Thank you Rachel from the bottom of my heart for all you did for me. X

Rachel was excellent from start to finish, she really gave my aunt the peefecr swnd off, not even knowing her but made Her service beautiful and really made the family feel at ease. Truly amazing at what she does ❤️

Hi Rachel

Thank you on behalf of all the family for the wonderful service that you delivered on Monday, it made us laugh, cry and laugh again and really came across well. A few people have commentated on how well you done the service and I can ably agree with them 

Thanks again

Stephen 

Hi Rachel just wanted to drop you wee message and thankyou so much  once again for another lovely service❤️You done eleanor proud and us too your an absolute ⭐️at what you do  heart off gold thankyou from all the Lindsay family💕💕take care Tracy Lindsay 

Rachel provided comfort, understanding & compassion during a difficult time. Her communication, attention to detail & delivery of the service was first class. Highly recommended this lady.

Rachel conducted the service for my dad on Friday 12th August, my mum and I cannot thank Rachel enough for her support and amazing service, she told his stories as well as he would have, she truly captured the amazing man he was. 

Thank you x

Rachel conducted the funeral service for my aunt on Thursday 11 August 2022. 

This is the second time that we have used Rachel's services. Rachel was excellent at gathering the information for my aunt's life story and actually telling the story at the service. 

Everyone at the service commented at how lovely the service had been afterwards. 

The family would like to thank Rachel once again for conducting the service in a truly professional manner to which we have become accustomed to.

My family and I can’t thank Rachel enough for her attention to detail for the service that was put together on losing our mum. Her kindness, understanding, advice, and replying as soon as she could to e mails (when taking other services only) was second to none. Would highly recommend without a doubt. When losing a loved one Rachel definitely helps and guides you through a sad time ….

Amazing service,very professionally and very kind service. Lovely very warm voice.

Amazing service done by Rachel such a kind and caring person. Rachel gave exactly what we wanted and sat and listened greatly to what we wanted. Highly recommended.

I would like to recommend Rachel Jaconelli Celebrant Services to anyone who has suffered a bereavement. From our first contact with Rachel to meeting her and the delivery of my Mums service, she was a true professional who took the time to really get to know my Mum and all our stories. So many friends have commented on how lovely Mums service was and most importantly how it wasn’t a morbid affair which was important to us. Rachel then spent time speaking to us afterwards to console my son and gave us details of free bereavement counselling. She truly is a star and so suited to her job.

My wife passed away after a long illness, and Rachel helped us (the family) get through a really difficult time. She had a sympathetic, and comforting, manner that made it easier to recall memories. She did an excellent job, organising the order of service and then conducting the actual service, and internment, in a way that was bright and uplifting. I would definitely recommend Rachel.

Thank you so much for a beautiful service for my uncle Alex Ewing from Meadowburn care home on the 21st of June 2022. It was a very calming and serene service. Would recommend you to others with no hesitation. Thank you. 

Rachel

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you from all the family for the lovely service you delivered yesterday.

It was very much appreciated and definitely a celebration of a good life for which dad would have appreciated.

Thanks again 

Iain

Hi rachel

Thank you so much for yesterday. 

The service was absolutely beautiful both in the parlour and at the graveside. 

The amount of people that came up to us and said you were really nice and liked the way you told our stories and memories was unbelievable. 

My mum was a very special person to us all and we will miss her greatly I'm just so pleased that we got you to do her service. She would have liked you and I think she would have been happy with what was said.

Thanks again 

Margaret anne 

Rachel was amazing from day 1 when I was arranging my brother in laws funeral. My family had a further death in the family during this time and Rachel took the time to talk to me over the phone for over an hour. The service she gave for John was so good and I would highly recommend Rachel as she is such a caring lady who really does take the time to try and get to know as much as possible about the deceased relative, and she made what was and still is a lot less stressful for me. She is an amazing lady xx 

I would like to thank Rachel very much for providing a lovely dignified service, for one of our residents at Meadowburn care home Alex Ewing. Rachel was amazing throughout and a lovely and kind lady would not hesitate to recommend Rachel to friends and family. Thanks again Rachel 

From Day one of meeting Rachel we knew we had the perfect person for Dads farewell. It just felt like we were talking to a friend and reminising about Dads life. She made what could have been a miserable day, dare I say enjoyable, which sounds strange but she really did. We are so glad to have met you Rachel and will forever hold you dear in our hearts for what you did for our family. Enjoy Robbie when it comes, you deserve a day off x

Rachel was the perfect celebrant to host the memorial service for my mum. 

From the first meeting, Rachel showed compassion and a genuine care that was clear throughout our interactions and at the service. 

Our service was a celebration of life and Rachel made sure that although we shed a tear, we also laughed. 

We would certainly recommend Rachel and thank her for being with us through such a challenging time. 

Hi Rachel, Thank you so much for the beautiful service you did for my Mum’s ashes interment. You captured my mum’s spirit beautifully and delivered a sincere and joyful service just what we needed as mum had choosing an unattended cremation. I really can’t thank you enough, you are a very special lady. 

A very Big Thank you. X 

Hi Rachel,thankyou from all my family for a beautiful service for my sister,we appreciate you took the time with the family,we cried,we laughed all because you made it so special,you are the most caring,beautiful person Thankyou

Hi Rachel, 

On behalf of myself, dad and my brother I would just like to thank you for everything you did for us when losing Arlene. Honestly the nicest woman I have ever met! You made what was such a sad time for us more bearable, you captured everything and gave Arlene such a lovely Service. I read over Arlene service just last night and your attention to detail was amazing. It was actually as if you knew Arlene personally. You took in everything we told you and really did her proud with her service so from the bottom of our hearts thank you Rachel! ❤️You were fab. Helped us so much with everything as we were in such shock, you helped and guided us every step of the way even emailing me after the service to ask how we were. We all couldn’t recommend you enough! 

Thanks again and take care.

I would like to acknowledge Rachel for a wonderful service conducted on behalf of my brother Iain. From first contact her gentle amenable demeanour was both reassuring and professional. Rachel was a delight to speak to, her calm approachable manner was so helpful when you are are undergoing such a stressful emotional time. I therefore have no hesitation in recommending Rachel whenever you require her.

Thank You Rachel for the lovely eulogy you gave for my husband Bobby, it was like you had been friends with him for ages. Your kind words both before and after were a great help to me and my son David. 

I would like to start off by saying thank you so much for celebrating our little baby jacks funeral. Monday was one of the hardest days for myself and my partner william. Thank you so much for everything you did for us from the start to finish.

Rachel delivered an absolutely beautiful funeral service for my dad. We’ve been told by people who attended who didn’t know my dad very well, that they left feeling like they knew him afterwards. People were laughing through their tears. She approached my family and I with a lot of empathy and communication remained easy and efficient right up to the day of the service. Thank you so much Rachel  

Hi Rachel,

I do not have the words to explain how perfectly Rachel put across the life of my beautiful sister. Rachel's time, commitment and warmth throughout the whole process was very comforting. The empathy and warmth of the service was commented on by many who attended and it was felt dearly by all of the family. We cannot thank you enough Rachel for the unforgettable send off you bestowed to our beautiful Lauren. Thank you for everything, truly.
