FUNERALS & MEMORIALS

Shelley was amazingly helpful and supportive in planning and delivering the music for my husband's funeral. She understood and respected our needs as a family. Her wealth and breadth of musical knowledge meant she was able to gently guide our choices to fit the resources available. On the day her performance was sublime and made what could have been such a sad occasion totally memorable in every way.

I will always be grateful to Shelley. She sings beautifully, is knowledgeable about music and ceremony, and is sensitive. She took the time to listen and really understand and so advised us wisely. 

Shelley is a naturally empathetic and joyful person who is kind and compassionate. That, for us, added some light into what was a dark time. Shelley is the perfect celebrant.

  Shelley,  I so appreciated everything you did for us right from the start, visiting us when Mum was ill and being such a comfort throughout the whole process. Your openness about your own loss and warm heart blessed me so much. Your enthusiasm to get the music just the way Mum wanted it and attention to detail was so good. I knew I didn’t have to worry about any of it. Thank you, thank you, Thank you! 

Shelley played an invaluable role in my father’s funeral.  In the planning stages, we had chosen to have a big selection of music, and with Shelley’s calm guidance and knowledge, we were able to settle on our choices and the running order in just one meeting.  This was a big relief for me.  On the day of the funeral I had the confidence that she had everything in hand, pulling all the various elements together smoothly and giving us one less thing to worry about.  On top of this she has the  most incredible voice and sang several uplifting pieces, really adding an extra something special.  We felt very lucky to have her.
