We chose Lesley as our celebrant to lead us through the proceedings of my mothers natural burial and memorial service. She was caring and thoughtful in the lead-up, helping us to get our thoughts together collectively. On the day itself, I couldn’t have been happier with the way in which she conducted proceedings. She had taken clear note of my mothers character based upon our explanations, and used this to speak in a familiar manner. Lesley spoke clearly, yet in a comforting way that helped us through the day. While it is not an easy event to be a party to, Lesley was an essential element in what made the day exactly what my mother would have wanted. Thank you Lesley.

Beautifully. led by Leslie. Although all contributions were family or choral, her leadership flexibility and handholding support was essential and caring, especially when. 10 year old grandchild insisted at last minute on reading the poem. Recommended.

Lesley was a wonderful celebrant at our mother’s recent funeral service, and we were so grateful for the way everything came together. Her friendly, thoughtful, and professional approach was deeply appreciated. She guided and shaped the service with care and sensitivity, taking the time to understand our wishes and to get to know our mum through us. As a result, the ceremony felt just right — personal, heartfelt, and meaningful. Many people commented on what a beautiful service it was, and we couldn’t have asked for a more fitting tribute.
