On the funeral day Verity oozed calmness and peace and guided us all perfectly through the service with our individual contributions.
As soon as we were put in touch with Verity she was positive, available and keen to support our family from the very beginning in all ways.
We had a family meeting to discuss our father's funeral service and Verity was warm, kind, understanding and very patient explaining the process to us all including our elderly mother. At such a very sad time you need a person who knows how to relate to all family members and difficult family situations. Verity was very approachable via all forms of communication and was extremely kind and reassuring to our mother.
Each one of us knew Verity was ready to take control if we struggled with our words. The quiet pauses and allowing us to continue was very respectful and meant we could all complete our pieces without fear of rushing.
The final speech from Verity was so beautiful and put together all the thoughts and feelings of the family and helped us to lay our father's memory and body at rest.
Verity is extremely well suited to her role as a celebrant and comes highly recommended from the Boden family.
We enjoyed our father's celebration of life and felt the whole service was well organised and prepared and we had the strength of knowing Verity was right there when needed.
Thank you Verity Dallaway!
Verity is a genuine person who wants to listen and wants to do her best to create a meaningful and personal eulogy for you in such an emotional and stressful time.
We were fortunate to have Verity as the Celebrant to lead at my mums cremation. She came to visit before hand and sat chatting to us about mums history, likes, dislikes, her character and what she had meant to us as a family. She is happy to help you with decisions on music, prayers and readings/poems. Verity sent us a proof of the eulogy to read through and adjust as we saw fit. We found there was nothing that needing altering, she had managed to catch the essence of mum very clearly. She led the cremation with dignity and was very supportive. We were very grateful of her time and attention to detail.

From beginning to the end of the process of my bothers funeral Verity was extremely helpful & compassionate, providing excellent help & guidance throughout.
At what was a well attended funeral the whole congregation were extremely complimentary about the flow & manner at which Verity conducted the service. Not only did Verity conduct the service in a professional manner, she also supported me personally to push through with my own reading, creating a wonderful lasting memory of my brothers life Without doubt I would recommend Verity - she will make you proud by conducting a first class service to remember.

She put together a fitting tribute and was in regular contact, she really couldn’t do enough.
Verity was recommended by our wonder funeral director who was handling dad’s funeral. She came to our family a couple of weeks before the funeral and spent some time asking questions and finding out about dad and the family. On the day of the funeral she conducted the ceremony with care and compassion and conveyed dads wishes over in a way that bought all aspects of his life together, which allowed us to sit back and hear stories unfold. We would have no hesitation in contacting Verity again if the need ever arises in the future, thank you from us all x
