alistair brown2024-12-10 Can someone leave a review of the person who officiated over my brother's funeral? Well, I'm going to try. Gary Erskine brought warmth and sincerity to what was, understandably, a difficult day. From the outset, his attentive note-taking and genuine interest in understanding my brother's unconventional life set the tone for a truly personalized ceremony. Despite the complexity of capturing such a unique and free-spirited character, Gary found the perfect thread to weave a superb tapestry of stories, memories, and emotions. His ability to highlight the key features of my brother’s life and personality — his humor, love, and individuality — was nothing short of remarkable. My mum thought Gary was wonderful. She particularly appreciated his youthful appearance, which she felt suited my brother’s outlook on life perfectly. Gary’s chosen profession is undoubtedly one of the few where customers won’t be looking forward to seeing him again, but he can rest assured that we know exactly where to find him when the time comes. His care and professionalism turned a difficult occasion into a celebration of life that we will always remember with gratitude. Lorraine Zytynska2024-12-09 I attended my very close friends dad's funeral via live stream on 3rd December 2024. I was so impressed with the service. Gary had taken the time to get to know the family and researched what was important to them. His delivery was outstanding. Christine Lynn2024-12-04 We used Gary’s services for my father’s funeral. My family and I cannot recommend him enough. Professional, considerate and caring throughout. His attention to detail is next to none. Everyone who attended commented on how fantastic he was. Jamie5151512024-11-08 Gary was very professional and spent a lot of time and effort really getting to know who my late father was beforehand. His speech covered his life from beginning to end perfectly and he even writes his own poems for the service which were very touching and heartwarming. Gary goes above and beyond working closely with the funeral directors to make sure the whole event goes to plan. He continually checked in with myself before , during and after to make sure we were happy with how things were going and that we were happy with the service provided. I would definitely recommend Gary as a professional celebrant who will make sure the day goes perfectly & as planned. Thank You Again Gary for helping us through this difficult time.

Following the service, he was praised highly by many who, like myself, felt he brought a wonderful light and warmth to an otherwise painful experience. He did my husband proud. John Tudhope2024-09-17 A excellent service conducted by Gary sharon beveridge2024-09-13 Gary delivered my mums funeral service beautifully and eloquently with the balance of warmth, humour and sensitivity. From our first contact with Gary he put us at ease tentatively listening to create a wonderful eulogy. His words flowed and he created a wonderful eulogy truly capturing the character of my mum. He also took time to add a lovely poem he had personally written. Family and friends were complimentary of the service all commenting on Gary’s words and that he is clearly gifted. Thank you Gary for delivering such a loving tribute to my mum. Lee Kerr2024-09-11 Gary's gentle manner, great communication, attention to detail and talent for writing made for a unique and special funeral service to say farewell to my dad at Holmsford Bridge last month. So many people commented afterwards on what a lovely service it was, I would not hesitate to recommend Gary and I thank him for all his help at a difficult time for my family pauline lennon2024-09-09 Gary recently done a service for my late Dad’s funeral on the 05/09/2024. I knew from the very first phone call and thereafter to personally meeting he was going to do it exactly how we wanted. We requested it to be lighthearted as my dad was like that himself he never took life too seriously. Honestly can say Gary delivered just that.The way he spoke about my dad you would have thought he knew him personally. It truly was a beautiful tribute to my Dad. Gary always kept in contact wether it be by phone, emails and text messages and made sure we were happy with everything. His professionalism throughout was outstanding. I had a good few people say it was the best service they had been to and also asking for his details as they would like to use him in the future if need be. Once Again Gary from the bottom of my heart, Thank You. Brian McGregor2024-09-02 Gary did a fantastic job at mum's funeral. Beginning with his initial visit, he listened carefully to our requirements and soaked in all of our stories before blending them into a heartwarming reading. There was nothing in his first draft we needed to change such was his attention to detail. He was always available to contact, and on the day of mum's funeral delivered a fantastic celebration of mum's life and her personality. Everyone left with a smile on their face and a warm memory of mum's time on this planet. I would highly recommend Gary as a safe pair of hands to celebrate your loved ones life.
