Lynnette Olsen, Civil Celebrant

On behalf of my family I would like to thank you sincerely for delivering on your promise to make the memorial service for Marion a fitting tribute to her life.  We were all grateful for the sensitive and dignified way that the service was presented.  Our extended family and friends also expressed similar views. So once again thank you very much.

We were so pleased with the service you gave for our mum. Thank you also for suggesting we take the photo album of mum to the service, it was just the finishing touch. Sincere thanks on behalf of both our families.

Thank you so very much for Justin’s service on Friday. Everyone I have spoken to after it has said how beautiful the service was for him and how they all listened very carefully to your special words for him. My family and I thank you very much for your passionate and caring service.

Please accept our thanks for a truly inspiring service that celebrated the life of our mum. In what was an emotionally difficult time, we both felt confident that Mum’s service and dedication was in expert hands. This proved to be the case. Many well wishers at the afternoon tea spoke of the moving service and how much Mum would have appreciated and enjoyed it. You played a special role in the final chapter of her life.

We wish to thank you for conducting such a beautiful service for Dorothy Evans. You captured the person accurately and compassionately, although we have always been dreading this time, you gave us perfect closure, for nothing about the service could have been more dignified nor moving. You have a unique talent and have contributed greatly to making our grieving process easier.

Thank you for crafting and delivering such a personal and touching service for our girls Polly and Violet.  The service really was an important day for us and it was all perfect – we would not have asked for a better farewell for the girls.  Thank you again.

Thank you for all of your kind words and thoughts.  You have helped me to say good-bye so much easier.  Your service was excellent and beautifully done.  I thank you from the bottom of my heart.  You are truly a beautiful person with caring and compassion towards grieving families.  Thank you.

We remember your service as a tasteful and fitting tribute to Mum and we are grateful to you for making it so.

Words cannot express our feelings of thanks.  You made Tuesday so much easier for us with your special caring.  We are so very glad we met you.

I am writing to say how happy we were with the way you handled the proceedings of my Grandfather’s funeral. In such a trying time for myself and the family, you showed great compassion and understanding in all situations, always made your self available, and guided us through a very difficult time in our lives.

You were more than willing to answer any questions that we had, and showed a lot of patience and understanding. When the time arrives that you have to part with a loved one, you want everything to be perfect. On the day things panned out exactly as we’d hoped they would, and exactly as you assured us they would.

This is the second time that you have conducted a service for my family, and I will not hesitate in using your services again, although I can’t wait until it’s under better circumstances.

In a service industry such as yours, and given the sensitivity of the job you carry out, I wanted to take the time out to show my appreciation.

Thank you once again Lynnette, you are an angel.

I just wanted to convey my utmost thanks and appreciation of the service you did for Helen.

You spoke as if you had known her all her life and you were passionate and caring. We all really appreciate the way it was put together and the detail that you went into. Helen would have been proud of the service.

Thank you again for your support and care and helping us to give Helen a service she deserved. You are an asset to your profession.

I wish to thank you for all you did for us yesterday at Peter’s funeral and in the days leading up to it. You deserve a gold medal for patience, sensitivity, generosity and exceptional courage in the face of such extreme weather conditions. Everyone has commented on the breadth and depth of the service. It was so important to our sons and all their friends to have Peter’s life and talents understood and appreciated.
