Beautiful ceremony

David was recommended to us by our Funeral director Janice at Jonathan Harvey and as a family we were impressed by his professionalism and gentle way he put together a beautiful Eulogy for our mother Everyone who attended the service was complimentary of his manner spoke of how well the service had been conducted We are so pleased with the way everything was handled from Davids first introduction to us at the family home through to the beautiful ceremony and would have no hesitation in recommending his services to others Thank you again David for your kind words and empathy on our big day and putting so much of your own time into the process at a difficult time for all

Outstanding Independent Celebrant

We were put in touch with David by the Co-op Funeral Care office in Airdrie following the sudden loss of my brother and I genuinely cannot recommend his services highly enough From the very first contact we had to meeting with our family and during the funeral itself and even afterwards David showed an impeccable level of empathy understanding and professionalism He took so much time and care in preparing the eulogy and captured my brother s personality in such great detail that you would be forgiven for thinking he knew Paul personally I truly feel that David went above and above and beyond the call of duty for our family he helped guide us at a time we felt lost On behalf of myself and everyone else who loved my brother Paul I will forever be grateful that David was the one who gave him his final send off

David Somerville

David presented a reading at my dads

David presented a reading at my dads funeral which was so lovely and really heart warming joking about fridges david is a real gem at what he does words meant so much would use his service again well done david

Just perfect

David showed compassion and empathy to me and my family during a sudden unexpected death in my family He took time to gather all the information and within a couple of days sent me the eulogy via email which was perfect During the service he remained very professional and delivered the eulogy to perfection and it was all about the loved one that we had lost which is what we had asked for All my family approached me after the service and said that David was amazing I would have no hesitation in recommending him

Perfect

I don t tend to leave reviews often but I felt compelled to leave a positive review for David after he delivered such a lovely personal service for my Mum s funeral It can be quite nervewracking meeting a celebrant for the first time and after only one meeting trusting that they will be able to capture the essence of someone who is essentially a stranger to them but David did just that His words were so personal that people at the service thought that David and Mum must have known each other for a long time and I think that is testament to the work David puts in to get the words just right Thank you again David

Dad s Funeral

From our initial telephone call David made us very comfortable and at ease We then had a meeting with David which from the outset confirmed we had the right person for our Father s funeral service David attention to detail for Dad s eulogy was amazing David gave us guidance on every aspect of the funeral service The service itself was flawless and David certainly delivered a truly memorable experience for everyone who attended We would thoroughly recommend David s first class services
