George Bennett – Independent Funeral Celebrant

A photograph of George Bennett, Funeral Celebrant

I will compose and conduct a funeral service that reflects the individual personality of your loved one. I will visit your home and having listened to you and your family will write a service and eulogy that captures the spirit of the person they were.

And that, coupled with your choice of music, secular or religious, plus perhaps words, poems or prayers from members of your family or myself will produce a service of dignity and sincerity to enable you to say farewell in the way that they deserve.

Areas covered: London, Surrey, North Sussex, and Kent.

Words of Appreciation

Hello George,
I know that I thanked you briefly after the ceremony but due to talking to other mourners never got a chance to speak to you more fully. Now that I have returned to Spain I wanted to contact you to express my gratitude. I appreciate that this must be a difficult job to celebrate the life of a person that you yourself did not know. However, I was very pleased with the way that you worked with my sister and I with the aim of providing a ceremony that was appropriate to the occasion.

More than that I believe that it truly reflected the spirit of my father's life and I thank you for that and can tell you that mourners did comment to me that they were impressed with the service. I wish you continued success in dealing with other bereaved families and helping them to celebrate the lives of their relatives.

Dear George,
Just a brief note on behalf of my brother and myself (and the rest of the family) to thank you so much for making the service for our Mum so lovely. Although it was a very sad occasion, you made it very dignified, respectful and gracious. It helped us not only to grieve but also to celebrate Mum’s life, and we are very grateful to you for that.

I have told Frederick Paine that you did a great job and that I would recommend you highly to others for your care and understanding and for your kindness before, during and after the service.

Wishing you all the best for the New Year, and with thanks again.
