OTHER FUNERAL FEEDBACK/ COMMENTS ON GEOFF FROM FAMILIES & FUNERAL Co's.
For someone who has never met I…. you got him spot on. You took away a lot of worries and held a beautiful service and we can’t thank you enough. You and the Funeral Director made the whole experience a lot less stressful than it could have been. Mrs N - Northwich
Thank you for the truly wonderful funeral service you performed for S.......... You captured exactly what S........ and I were looking for perfectly. It was a celebration of his life and our life together. Everybody who attended has contacted me to tell me what a wonderful service it was. Thank you again – Mrs B - Denton
My family & I would just like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the wonderful job you did at our Mums funeral. The way you told the story of our Mums life was as if you had known her for years & the fondness in your voice as you told the people sitting there listening to her story it was so caring & also comforting , we are so glad we chose you to take the service & will recommend you to anyone – Mr K - Manchester
Thank you so much Geoff. You did us proud, and as a family, we feel her life story was told really well. We had lot’s of praise in the afternoon, plus her grandchildren and our friends expressed how they had learned new things about B……, which was eye opening for us, but also very warming. You helped us achieve that, which we are all very grateful for. Mrs B -Warrington
It is my pleasure to confirm the rather hasty 'thank you' I gave after the service. There was a lot going on at the time. You obviously took on board the comments made during our conversation and your own remarks during the service reflected this. We were very impressed with your professional approach during the service and in the preparations which all went very smoothly. We all know that apparently effortless events only appears so because of the effort that has gone in behind the scenes. – Mr P - Macclesfield
Sorry for the late reply. You done an amazing job. Me and my mum knew you would have been the right person for it from the start and you didn’t disappoint. You made it funny with the humour. We were sad not to say thank you but you had other things on you don’t have to worry! Dad was a great character, he would have been well happy with everything that day and he was someone you could have got a long with. Thank you so much for everything. Mr H – Sale Moor
“You were the perfect man for the job. You spoke fondly of XXX and people in the service asked if you were a personal friend of his. Thank you so much you made us all feel at ease and feel that XXX was with us as you spoke about him”.
Mrs T, Timperley
“Thank you so much for doing my nana’s service, it was lovely and everybody has commented on what a nice service it was. Things went as well as they could have done so thank you for giving her the best send- off possible”.
Miss G, Denton
“Geoff, please accept my sincere thanks on behalf of our family, friends and everyone who attended the Funeral. You said you would give Dad a good 'send-off' and you certainly did, you were impressive. Your professionalism, attention to detail and humility was outstanding and I have received many comments confirming your attributes. As we say in the RAF: "Good skills...mate" which is a significant accolade, and a compliment hard to attain. We remain grateful for your deportment and empathy, which has been just right throughout, please do not change one thing”.
Mr B, Timperley
“Yesterday was as good as it could have been thanks to you. We’ve already told the Funeral Director how pleased we were with your narrative about XXXs life. We will give the Funeral Director the best feedback you deserve. We would recommend your services to any of our friends and family. Thanks again”.
Mr R, Heald Green
“I couldn’t praise you enough and I’m so pleased that you were kindly invited you to carry out the service. You were professional, funny and warm-hearted in a time of need for XXXX and I as, fortunately, we hadn’t arranged a funeral before. Although you said you’ve never met Dad, which is of course true, it didn’t feel that way during the service and you portrayed a perfect picture of him. My older brother, XXXXX, text me to say Dad would have been very proud - that speaks volumes!”
Mr P, Audenshaw
“The family were really pleased with you, they felt as though you could have been a friend of J…. such was the way you spoke and that you were a fantastic storyteller and J…. would have really appreciated how you delivered the service.”
Mrs C of Eire
"M..... was also very happy with everything and said numerous family members commented on how smoothly the service ran. When I first met with M.... and O.... they were very unsure about having a celebrant due to the multi-faith family but on advice decided to get somebody to organise everything. M....... feels this was “the best decision ever” as you took that pressure from the family and ensured everything ran smoothly and was inclusive. She appreciated you listening to the family requirements then adding your own contributions based on experience; this enhanced the service. "

I can write it all for you based on what you want. Music, Poems, Tributes and Eulogies. I have the tools, pastoral skills and the experience to do this.
I will communicate with your chosen Funeral Directors
As of October 2024 I have taken hundreds funerals across 20 plus North West Crematoriums - East Lancs, Cheshire, Greater Manchester, and I am a member of the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants.
I have had 40 years of business presentations as well as stage acting roles.
I am the "Man with the Velvet Voice"!
These days there is a lot of choice for the bereaved. However, I am comfortable with secular and religious services. I can also handle; Ashes scattering and burial. Private tributes and memorials at chosen indoor or outdoor locations to suit those who want a less formal approach.
The rise of Direct Cremations has opened the door for less formal services which I can help you organise.
