Leicester Celebrancy Omdömen 

I came across Leicester Celebrancy after my partner passed away suddenly, and from the moment we had the first call I knew I was in safe hands. The level of detail, the personalisation of the service along with sensitivity and professionalism which was delivered was first class. I can’t say thank you enough after the trauma of losing someone young so suddenly and can’t speak highly enough of Neil. Don’t look any further you won’t be disappointed. Thank you.

We only have good things to say about Neil's work. He guided us well with advice, listened to our wishes as a family and did a great job on the day. Thanks Neil for all your help.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

When we sadly lost my mother-in-law, we knew Neil was the right person to help us celebrate her life. He is incredibly passionate, takes the time to truly listen, and asks exactly the right questions. Through his care and attention, he ensured our loved one was remembered with dignity, while also bringing warmth and even moments of happiness as we reflected on her life and experiences.

We cannot recommend Neil highly enough.

Neil is a wonderful, caring man. So many people at my lovely mum’s funeral said it was the best funeral they’d been to and loved Neil the celebrant. He didn’t try to be something he wasn’t, just shared OUR THOUGHTS. Just a lovely man, love him…you would never be disappointed. Thank you Neil xx

Neil John was the celebrant at a joint funeral for my sister and brother-in-Law and from his first contact with me through to the final committal his care and help made this difficult time so much easier to navigate. His suggestions and advice were extremely helpful and at the wake afterwards everyone agreed the service and been conducted in such a caring and professional way and a wonderful final tribute to two people who had been a dear part of my life. I would highly recommend Neil to all.

What can I say. One of the saddest days of my life. Neil listened to what we had to say about mum and incorporated everything we said into our celebration. The memories link was invaluable to adding personalisation and a little humour into the day. Would not hesitate to recommend him.

Neil was amazing on such a hard day. He was kind, genuine, and really easy to talk to, which made everything feel less overwhelming. He listened to the family, understood what we wanted, and created a service that truly felt like it was about our loved one — not just a generic ceremony. The way he spoke, the tone he set, and how he supported the family made a real difference. We’re grateful to him for making such a painful day feel a little lighter and more meaningful.

Neil recently conducted the ceremony for my mum’s funeral. He was wonderful and I can’t recommend him enough. He is very genuine, listened to what we wanted and created a ceremony that was commended by numerous people. It was exactly what we wanted and a perfect celebration of our mum’s life. Thank you Neil, you made what was a difficult time feel manageable.

Neil conducted a wonderful celebration of my sister's life, and his policy of seeking memories of her life from childhood and through adulthood, to include in the eulogy, was brilliant.
A great help at a difficult time.

Neil from Leicester Celebrancy was incredibly warm and friendly from the very first meeting. He took the time to truly get to know who our mam really was, not just on paper but as a person, and that meant so much to our family.
He was a great communicator throughout, extremely well organised and immensely efficient, which meant everything ran smoothly on the day and we had complete confidence in him. There was absolutely no judgement at any point, just genuine care and respect.
Neil wrote the most beautiful eulogy that told our mam’s story perfectly. Including memories from those who loved her was a really special touch and made the service feel personal, heartfelt and authentic.

A friend who had previously worked with Neil suggested we reach out to him. After my mother's passing, we contacted Neil, and his support was exceptional from the start and continued beyond the funeral. He organized a meeting where we immediately felt at ease. We shared stories about my mother's life, which Neil noted down. Before the service, he called to share what he'd prepared, and he had captured her essence flawlessly. On the day of the service, his demeanor was calm and reassuring, delivering my mother's eulogy impeccably and standing by me as I gave my speech. I can't recommend Neil highly enough. Thank you, Neil.

I have to say that Neil was fantastic in conducting the funeral of my wife Lyn. He came around on a Sunday to talk us through the ceremony and wanting to know as much about Lyn as possible. As he conducted the service he had pulled all the information together beautifully. His knowledge was fantastic and his advise on the little things to do on the day was invaluable. I couldn’t think of a nicer person to conduct a funeral and would highly recommend him to anyone who required a service like this. Many thanks Trev

Neil was amazing and such a nice guy. Very compassionate, and understanding at such a sad time. He did a lovely service for my dad. We couldn’t have asked for better. Thank you so much. Dee

Neil conducted Grandads Funeral in Jan 2025. 11 months later we were heartbroken to say we needed him again for our Grandmas Funeral. On both occasions the services were perfect in every way possible. His words capture people so beautifully. Neil guided our family through it all; music, photos, flowers, memories… he was at the end of the phone whenever we needed. Such commitment and dedication to a role that is so very important to complete. Thank you for making a very emotional time that little bit more easier to process. Would highly recommend Neil.

Neil was fantastic made a sad day go with so much love for mum and the family really carnt thank him enough for mum and dad

We had the pleasure of having Neil as the celebrant at Dads funeral 2 years ago. When Mum passed away last month we didn't hesitate to ask for Neil to take the service again.
We couldn't have asked for more. Neil ensured that every detail was taken care of. He advised us regarding music, lighting and photos and even the little personal touches, like giving roses to each guest to place on mums coffin at the end. He was polite, professional, knowledgeable and excellent at what he does, and a thoroughly nice guy on top of that.
Planning a funeral can be daunting but Neil made it so easy.
Nobody wants to think about what happens 'when the time comes' but when you do, I would recommend Neil whole-heartedly. Thank you Neil, for making it perfect for Mum.

We cannot thank Neil enough for everything he did for us.

Living in Australia and planning such an important occasion, such as our vow renewal ceremony, while living on the other side of the planet was no easy task, but Neil went above and beyond to ensure our day was not only stress-free, but truely unforgettable.

From the very beginning he was genuinely invested in making sure everything was perfect, and he took care of every single detail with warmth and professionalism.

One of the most precious moments of the day was my-87-year-old father having the honour of giving his only daughter away (something he was unable to do at our original wedding) a memory we will treasure forever.

Neil made this possible, and for that we will always be grateful.

Thank you Neil your Ausi friends,

Tracey and Adrian K

As a family we cannot think Neil enough for the most perfect service for my Dad. It was full of happy memories & love with tears & moments of laughter. It ment the absolute world to us & we will forever be grateful. Neil was professional from the off & put us at ease at the most horrific time of our lives. The attention to detail that was shown & support he shown to us was above & beyond. Thank you.

We were recommended to use Neil from a friend who had used him before.
When my mum passed away we made contact with Neil and from that moment even after the funeral he was brilliant.
Neil arranged a meeting and from the first minute we felt comfortable. We discussed mums life and Neil took notes, when he phoned me before the funeral to read out what he had written, he captured my mums life perfectly. On the day of the funeral he was relaxed, comforting and supportive, he delivered my mums reading perfectly and supported me when I struggled to deliver my speech.
Very highly recommended.
Than you Neil.
