Testimonials

People lead such interesting lives and it is an honour to celebrate their time on earth. I not only create memorable ceremonies for my clients, but form long-lasting relationships with them. As a result, there are families for whom I have celebrated the lives of several of their family members. I am also consistently referred as a celebrant to new clients. Some testimonials include:

Chris was simply Wonderful delivering my Mother's eulogy.
He spoke with warmth and respect and he was very well prepared.
Family and Friends later commented to me how good Chris was as our Celebrant.

Thanks again Chris, the service and your words were both sensitive and seamless. Thanks for herding us to the Eden venue, the Mediterraneans are notorious for lingering at farewells. Thanks for a memorable send off, Dad would be very proud. Best wishes,

Angela and Andrew

Chris, on behalf of my family, I'd like to say thank you so much for an amazing ceremony. It was exactly what we asked for and it was an amazing send off for my Mum

Chris was the celebrant at my father's funeral service. My whole family felt he captured the essence of our father very well. Chris was professional, engaging and sympathetic at all times, even during the many delays we had due to Covid. Thoroughly recommend.

‘Thank you so much for doing dad's funeral, you did a fantastic job. It went so well, just the way he would have liked. And thank you for sending his eulogy so I can read it over again. Your mother was right, it is your calling. Well done. I will keep you in mind if I ever need you again, as you were so caring and so understanding. So I say thank you from our family.’

Cheryl

‘When my dad passed away, I had no idea where to begin with a eulogy. Chris made the whole process easy and delivered the eulogy beautifully. I couldn't recommend a better celebrant for such an important day. Thanks again Chris.’

Janine and Pete

‘Chris Winer was very easy to talk to. Chris forwarded 60 questions relating to the deceased, which made it easy to discuss with other related people. We chose not to go with the run of the mill funeral, it was a memorial. I am glad Chris had some time with people, they were all very happy with the service and it was a fitting goodbye. It was planned with the help of Chris as a very simple and happy occasion of the life and times of a very memorable man. Thank you so much. Tom would have been very proud and pleased. Long ago he would have been annoyed at the fuss, but as we said, the edges came off later in life. Kind regards, Barb'

‘Hi Chris, thank you for a really lovely service. Wonderful. I feel very happy about giving Beau a proper send off. Most of the funeral attendees reassembled to clear out his bungalow on Sunday. Spiritually, then materially. Thanks again.’
