Funeral Testimonials
I’ve conducted many funeral services and celebrations of loved ones’ lives. Some of my clients have been kind enough to write the following reviews for me.
The Obvious Choice
“Jeremy Broughton was the obvious choice for my husband’s funeral. Having died in the prime of his life and being a very popular local figure, his funeral was a large event and very sombre.
Jeremy was able to imbibe the proceedings with the gravitas I required but also injected the perfect amount of wry humour where appropriate, to really embody the character of my husband and evoke his presence in the room. My children found his words to be well chosen and very comforting.
He was able to make a huge venue feel intimate, and his deep resonant voice added to the very musical theme of the service.
Prior to the funeral Jeremy took great care to understand exactly what I visualised in terms of the shape of the service, which at my husband’s insistence was a purely secular one. He infused the service with a dignity and grandeur I would associate with an ecclesiastical occasion which was exactly what I was after, and I think my husband would have approved”.

Truly Bespoke Services
“Jeremy was the celebrant at my father-in-law’s funeral, when I was asked for a recommendation for the funeral of a friend of my dad, I knew exactly who to suggest.
The two events, just a few weeks apart, were entirely different but perfectly prepared for the lives lived. The information gathered and the real attention to detail, provided truly bespoke services which captured the essence of both men. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jeremy in the future”.

Lovely Service
“Hi Vanessa and Jeremy. I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the lovely service yesterday from all the family. Your words got right to the essence of Dad’s 78 well lived years. I can appreciate the difficulty in doing it but you absolutely captured his spirit and gave us strength on the day and for the coming days and months. We wish you and your family all the very best and seasonal greetings.”

The Best Decision I Ever Made
“I had the misfortune to organise my young brothers funeral, however I did have the great fortune to hire Jeremy Broughton as our nominated celebrant. It was the best decision I ever made. Jeremy and his very thorough assistant Vanessa organised the whole service from start to finish including editing speeches, the timing and editing of the selected music etc.
It took all the pressure off me and our family to concentrate on the other things required. The service ran like clockwork, Jeremy and Vanessa are a great team … please hire them! Thanks again Jeremy, regards Keith.”

A Wonderful Service
“Dear Jeremy and Vanessa, We would like to extend a huge thank you from the whole family for the wonderful service you provided for Malc.
Everyone who attended the service commented on how lovely it was and how they remembered Malc with such fondness and laughter. This was just what we were hoping for and with all your hard work and attention to detail you made it perfect.
The laughter continued at the wake with many more stories of Malc’s exploits. (I’m sure he would have added a lot more himself.) We all left for home knowing we had given him the “send off” he deserved, full of love. Thanks again to you both. Kindest regards.”
