“I was impressed with all aspects of the services provided to me and with the personal focus that I felt during my interactions with people. I found useful general information on the company's website before clarifying questions in telephone calls during which the advisers checked that I understood the topics we covered. The services provided were efficient, effective and supportive, reducing one major challenge for me in the weeks following my father's sudden death. I remain grateful for that support.”

“From the time dad & i phoned creations of life to arrange a policy, the staff were kind, conciderate & patient. When dad passed, creations of life provided comfort in mine & my families loss. The staff kept me informed on when they were going to collect my dad from hospital & when the cremation was to be held & at what time. This was done with great respect for my dad & for us his family. Staff also informed me when dads ashes including the small viles with dads ashes would be returned to me. On the day dads ashes came home the delivery was done with so much respect, dignity & kindness. The viles were in a beautiful velvet wallet & dads ashes were in a beautiful box with a woodland seen all around it. I even recieved a copy of the tree planted in dads honour through the woodland trust, which i will treasure forever. I cannot thank everyone at creations of life for their kindness, decorrum & compassion they showed me my family & especially my dad. I would & have sung their praises to quite a few people & will continue to do so. Thank you again for an amazing service.”

“A difficult and sad situation was made much easier each step of the way by the kindness and respect of the Celebration of Life people. Everything was explained in a gentle way which is very much appreciated at that difficult time. Even the man who bought our loved one home was very lovely, smartly dressed which made the handover feel dignified somehow.”

“Caring, committed and compassionate from start to finish. the team at COL are dedicated to making the most difficult times in life, that little bit easier to cope with. the additional final 'nod' to the dearly departed of having a tree planted in their memory is a beautiful little final touch to already outstanding service. Thank you so much”

“My brother chose this for himself. I didn't know how this would work, but I have to say the service they provided was excellent. Once I had, had the first contact with them, they kept me up to date at all stages. They let me know when my brother was picked up and in their possession. When the cremation was going to take place and at what time. As a family we wanted his ashes returned, so they arranged a day and time suitable for us to receive them. Very good service provided and would recommend them.”

“At a time in my life when I lost my husband recently I used celebration of life to deal with the cremation. They handled everything with dignity and were so helpful and did everything they could to make everything go smoothly and kept me informed all the way along and even contacted me after everything was completed. A wonderful service and Dan who delivered my husbands ashes back to me was very professional and an asset to celebration of life. I have recommended celebration of life to all my friends and relatives if they choose to go down that road too”

“Throughout my dealings with them from beginning to end, C of L combined professionalism and efficiency with friendliness, courtesy, sympathy and support. At all times, night and day, they were available on the telephone for help, guidance and information. I dealt mainly with Shona Nodwell; she was absolutely first class. She assisted and supported me when I was experiencing a particularly difficult situation. The return of my wife's ashes was carried out just as promised and with care and courtesy. I have nothing but praise for Cof L; they are highly recommended.”

“Celebration of Life were amazing. Kind and understanding on my initial call, took care of all the logistics without us needing to worry about anything, then kept us informed right up to the considerate and caring delivery of ashes back to us. We felt looked after at every step.”

“In October 2022, my wife and I made the decision to provide for our cremations, so that when the time came, either of us, or our family would not have the additional worry of arranging and paying for cremations. Everyone assumes that their deaths are a long way off and so did we. Sadly, my wife died unexpectedly only nine months later. From the initial phone call that I made to Celebration of Life to the after-care procedures, I was treated with understanding, sympathy and respect – even down to the formal attire of the gentleman who delivered my wife's ashes. I really cannot fault Celebration of Life and would recommend them wholeheartedly.”

“Celebration of Life made the process of organising a funeral — the first no-service one in our family — very straightforward. I had to do very little. I was particularly impressed by the return of my mother's ashes — they were delivered by a Celebration of Life family member. It felt personalised and very caring.”

“Celebration of Life were great when I lost my mum, I’d not heard of this type of service before but it’s what mum requested so I wanted to respect her wishes. The people at Celebration of Life were lovely, very kind and caring throughout the process and even calling after to check everything went okay. Great service, all went very smoothly and I would definitely recommend.”

“Losing my dad was very upsetting and difficult x you know Al your life that one day this will happen but you don't think of it. My dad was not a religious or ceremonial person but he loved nature and the Beautiful parts of the world, so the way Celebration of life plant a tree in the person's memory is lovely and the container holding the person's ashes reflect s this as it's a wonderful dreamy scene of woodlands and skies and pathways. I could imagine my late dad walking his way through that scene, breathing the air. Every single person I spoke to was helpful, kind, and respectful. The whole company seemed efficient, quick to deal with everything, and really comforting in getting even the details right. The courier service was on time, and even dressed respectfully and formally, which made it very special for me. This is never going to be easy but this company have made me feel like my dad was cared for brilliantly whilst he went through his journey xx and have his wishes fulfilled. Cannot say enough thankyous. 💐❤️”
