Daphne led the funeral ceremony for my late husband in May 2013. I am full of praise and thanks to her for the amazing way in which
she prepared for the ceremony and conducted it on the day. All my family and friends who attended have said so many really positive things about the ceremony and in particular what she said about my husband’s life in her tribute.I was struck from my meeting with Daphne at my home by her empathy and ability to listen and ask questions so that she was able to form a picture of the person about whom she would be talking. Following that
visit we exchanged several e-mails and phone calls to fine tune the order of service and in particular her tribute. Nothing seemed too much trouble and nothing was left to chance – she sent me drafts of everything and welcomed my feedback at all times and she liaised with my brother-in-law who was also going to give a personal reflection about his older brother.The funeral was obviously a very sad occasion but I can only end my comments by saying that I and my family and friends are so very
grateful to Daphne for giving us such a wonderfully moving yet vivid occasion by which we will be able to remember my husband.
My mother passed recently and unfortunately left very little for us as a family to put together for her ceremony and funeral. However we had a few ideas but with Daphnes guidance, support and understanding we were able to produce a beautiful ceremony to celebrate her life. From start to finish, she got to know us as a family but more importantly to listen, observe and discover the person who we had all lost. My mother had Pagan beliefs and Daphne helped us accommodate these views and portray to others paying their respects, I quite honestly could not have done as much without her assistance, a truly blessed person, thank you so much Daphne.
