Hello friends. If you are attending a service at daldowie crematorium or if like me your conducting service at daldowie, give yourself a good wee pocket of extra time for getting to the crematorium and leaving. There are road works on the overpass at the exit of the M74 and it's causing a lot of delay. Safe travels.

Putting a little call out to help a client. Is anyone able to help in finding a BSL interpreter for a funeral service on Wednesday morning in Glasgow. Even someone who is hearing and can sign and would be comfortable interpreting? Any leads would be so appreciated, the contacts I have are not available.

Many thanks

Some lovely words sent to me from clients whom I had the pleasure of working with last week. I'm always so thankful for the trust and openness of every family/ organisation I work for.

Good morning Donna
Just wanted to say thank you on behalf of the family for a lovely service at dad’s funeral yesterday. You guided us through a difficult day with a calm and professional manner. Thought you would like to know that there have been lots of positive comments about the service.
Thanks again.
Kind regards

Just a wee message to say a huge thank you to all you of my recent clients! And letting you know I’m taking a wee break from today, for a couple of weeks to enjoy some time with family.

From today friends, face masks are no longer a requirement at funerals and weddings, which will be a relief I know for many especially for those grieving as Im aware the masks made many feel anxious. Be your own advocate though. If you feel safer wearing one, or someone in your family is particularly at risk masks will still be welcomed, and should you wish me to still wear one when I’m not speaking (as you enter or leave and as music is played), just let me know as I will always have one to hand.

The new measures are part of a "phased" relaxation of the remaining covid rules, which still include a legal requirement to wear face masks on public transport.

Hello friends... Have you used my services (doesn't matter when) and haven't yet left a wee recommendation or review? well, if you feel comfortable doing so, I would love it if you could leave an honest line or two in my recommendations on this page. Its so helpful for my growth and is also good for future clients to reference.

My Thanks Always

Naming Ceremony Celebrations,

Having a naming day is a unique, meaningful and modern way to welcome a new baby into the family or celebrate a recent adoption. With COVID restrictions easing now is your chance to celebrate new arrivals, and formally introduce them to those closest to you.

I have many years of experience with naming ceremonies and whether it is at your own home, local park, or stunning venue I can write a personal and beautiful ceremony celebrating your family, your traditions, values and passions.

My fee of £165 is inclusive of all of my services; visit to meet you and your family, writing and editing of service with your guidance, officiating the day itself and presenting a certificate as memento of your special day. Please, if you have any questions reach out and, should you wish, have a look at my recommendations and reviews.

Life should be celebrated from beginning to end.

Hello friends! I know we are all looking forward to brighter days and more time with our friends and loved ones. For those of you who may not have been aware from the 26th of April attendance at funeral services will be increased to 50. I know this will be such a welcome step forward for those who find themselves planning a goodbye for a loved one in these difficult times.
