We had Jude as the funeral celebrant for my Grandad's funeral recently. As soon as myself and my Nan met Jude we felt comfortable and at ease. Nothing was too much trouble for Jude and she really listened to all our wants and needs. We knew we could always contact Jude with any queries or concerns and for that we are very appreciative. The service was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. Jude brought a soft and personal touch to the entire service and everyone who was there said how beautiful it was. Jude ensured everything went smoothly and did my Grandad proud. Giving him a good send off was at the front of everything. We will be forever grateful to Jude for the incredible service she led and the support she gave us. We would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Jude. 6th June 2025
Jude was wonderful towards me and my family during very tough times after losing my father recently. She came to the family home and listened and took everything in about my father's life.

Would well recommend Jude for any family going through tough times. 5th June 2025

We are beyond thankful for Jude Edward's support and guidance as the celebrant for my mum’s funeral. From our first meeting, Jude was incredibly compassionate and thorough. She took the time to really understand who Mum was through our stories, paying close attention to the little details that made her so special. What truly stood out was how Jude ensured we felt supported every step of the way. She checked in regularly, offering not just professional advice but emotional support during a very tough time. Jude helped us navigate every aspect of the service with care, from suggesting readings that felt meaningful to us, to guiding us through the planning process. We never felt rushed or overwhelmed; Jude made sure we had all the time and space we needed to craft the perfect farewell. On the day of the service, Jude’s thoughtful words truly captured the essence of Mum’s life. She spoke with such warmth and dignity, balancing the sadness of the occasion with moments of humour and light that reflected Mum’s spirit. The ceremony was beautifully personalised, and Jude’s delivery was flawless. We felt that every element, from the opening words to the final tribute, was tailored to Mum and our family’s wishes. What really meant the most to us was how Jude made sure that Mum’s memory was honoured in a way that felt personal and meaningful. The love, care, and respect she showed during the process, and on the day, helped us say goodbye in the most heartfelt way. Many of our family and friends remarked on how beautiful and moving the ceremony was, and we know it’s because Jude took the time to make it exactly what Mum would have wanted. We can’t thank Jude enough for being such a thorough, compassionate, and thoughtful celebrant during such an emotional time. If you are looking for a celebrant who will go above and beyond to ensure your loved one’s ceremony is meaningful and reflective of their life, we highly recommend Jude Edwards. 14th May 2025
On meeting Jude I was pleasantly impressed by her empathetic manner and the way she thoughtfully navigated us through the process of planning our dad’s celebration of life service.Jude had a genuine desire to find out about who our dad was, what he meant to us and how he had spent his life. The celebration service felt personal, which I know must be difficult in the circumstances but due to Jude’s attention to detail and kindness we were very happy with how the service went on the day. I would recommend Jude, with no hesitation to other families going through this difficult and sad time. 13th May 2025

I would thoroughly recommend Jude as a funeral celebrant. Jude took time and care to learn about our beloved mum, and checked with us that she had all the right information. I have had so many messages following the funeral to tell me what a lovely service it was, and how we'd done mum proud, and that made a very sad time a little lighter. Jude even wore a touch of purple as I had told her it was mum's favourite colour, little touches like this showed me what a kind, thoughtful lady Jude is. 5th May 2025

Jude, you were a calming presence from the beginning, when we first met with you, right through to the end of the service - and beyond.

It was everything and more than we could have asked for. So many people said how wonderful you were and how the service was just so Mum. You so 'got' who she was and what she valued. So thank you again for everything and for holding our hands through this difficult journey! Also for the lovely emails afterwards to check in with us.18th March 2025

"Professional, genuine and caring" among the words used to describe you. It takes something special to impress teenagers and you certainly did!

With our sincere thanks and love. 28th October 2024

Jude had a warmth and a kindness about her. At such a difficult time, it was lovely to have a celebrant that understood the person she was describing – she had taken such care in writing a life story with the information that we gave her. All of us felt that Jude listened to our wishes and did everything to make sure our memories were shared in the service. The people who knew my brother could certainly recognise him from the ceremony that Jude lead so beautifully. Thank you Jude for all the time you gave us and the finished service that you made. L would have appreciated the smiles and the fond memories that your tribute brought to a very sad day for our family. 29th November 2021
