Funeral 2020
Just a quick note to thank you for your role as Master of ceremonies at Dads Funeral last week.
We all thought it went really well, given the circumstances.
On a personal note, if it hadn’t been for your advice when we met you at Dads house, I’m not sure I would have come up with the words I did. You definitely inspired and encouraged me to make the effort, thank you.
As a result, I can actually say I enjoyed it and would be happy to write and read a tribute again
although maybe not read quite so quickly!
It’s only when you’re put on the spot to come up with the goods that you find out what you’re capable of!
One of Dads friends was the Dean of Salisbury Cathedral with his wife who used to work with Dad.
They came up to me afterwards and said, it’s not often you get a round of applause at a service in a Crematorium!
I’ll take that one ! Thanks again and I hope we don’t require your services again, however if we do,
I know where to come! Many thanks, Kind Regards,
Rob - Kent

On behalf of my sister and myself, I'd like to thank you both for your continued assistance with our late mother's Probate.
We were so fortunate to have found you. You've been professional throughout the whole process and made the whole difficult task so much easier for us during what was a sometimes a painful and distressing time. Having that immediate contact by email to offer support and advice, especially with myself living abroad, was a great reassurance
and carried us through until the end. We cannot recommend you highly enough.
Wishing you both all the best for the future. Thank you so much.

Dear Julie, At the risk of being a bore, yet another thank you for your effort on behalf of Delphine and us.
Both the religious and non-religious mourners were very complimentary regarding the funeral service and
how you conducted it. You made saying goodbye to Delphine as good as could be hoped for.
Thank you so much, Malcolm - Worthing

Dear Julie, Hannah and I just wanted to say thank you again for such a beautiful service.
Every single person told us that they had never attended such a lovely funeral before, Geoff really would have enjoyed it.
My mum, bless her, said that is exactly the type of service she wants.
We were both dreading yesterday, the funeral is the final goodbye, but you made it so easy to rejoice and
remember Geoff in an upbeat way and for that we thank you. Kind regards

Hi Julie we cannot thank you enough for the wonderful personal service you gave Mum. A lot of the family and friends have said they have never been to such a personal and emotional funeral and how Mum would have been so proud of it.

Hi Julie, Just wanted to say that you did a great job today to bring mums life alive once again even though only briefly.
I have not experienced a service like this before and I can see why Penny recommended you.
It was beautifully done. Much more a celebration and more personal.

Funeral and Lasting Power of Attorneys 2018
After a long painful battle my Dad passed away. I contacted JLM Connects (having never arranged a funeral
before, I was totally green)! I have to say your head is a bit all over the place at this time. Julie could not have been
more helpful and led myself, along with my Brother and Sister, through the stages of what needed to be done.
Julie conducted our Dads service, and how beautiful it was. She has little caring touches that we had not seen before.
Our Mum is a very particular person and wanted everything to be just lovely for Dad. They had been together for 77
years and inseparable. Mum could not stop talking about the service. She was full of praise for Julie for conducting
such a beautiful flowing service. Julie also lead our chosen hymns. She stepped back from the mic and we heard a beautiful background soprano voice, which everyone appreciated. She has an efficient, caring, lovely way about her, and the service was beautifully written and spoken. Afterwards we discovered that her business partner Matt, could assist
Mum in the setting up Lasting Power of Attorneys. We hadn't realised just how important these are to have in place
for our Mum, and that they could be set up at a reasonable cost, due to Matt's assistance. We cannot praise
JLM Connects enough, and we asked them to put our thanks on their website.
Thank you so much, Gillian, Mum, Stephen, Jean and family.

Hi Julie, I attended a funeral conducted by yourself today and wanted to express my thanks for your thoughtful, kind and generous celebration today. You were so natural and able to put people at their ease in such an emotional situation. With the children you let them still be very much part of their contributions and we heard the words as coming
from them. A skill that comes from having real empathy. Thank you so much, With best wishes

Dear Julie, I just wanted to say a big thank you for the service and also the compassionate and pragmatic guidance and support you have provided us through this challenging time. You gave Mum such a splendid send off by capturing her essence and delivering a heartfelt and joyous service....she would definitely have approved! You were a star.
Her send off all through the day could not have been better. I will always hold that in mind as it represented
what she stood for. Thank you so much again Julie, Abi - Jersey

Dear Julie, I want to thank you for the lovely service you conducted for my aunt Joyce's funeral. Your friendly manner made it seem as if you actually knew her, adding the humour that she would have appreciated and that was definitely appreciated by her family and friends. The service had the perfect balance of religious and secular elements and, although it sounds strange, we enjoyed celebrating Joyce's life in a way she chose and would have approved of.
Kind regards, Marie - Epsom

The service at Worthing Crem was professional and caring. We liked,very much, the way you delivered the eulogy by including the casket, a very nice touch. We were also very impressed with the service that Matt and yourself provided for probate which once again was extremely professional ,and in our case extremely quick. Once again many thanks.
If we had a rating system there would be 5 stars. All the very best for the future

The service that you developed and presented for us was absolutely fabulous and the tone and depth touched all of those present in such a wonderful and very personal way. I think that I can say that we all took away a very special something that each will treasure and remember my Mum in a way that links the parting as something, yes, tinged with sadness, but also a joy of life so typical Mum's style of zest for seeing the positive in everything. Thank you so much.
Kind regards

Hi Julie I would just like to thank you so much for the way you conducted the service for Phil - it was very uplifting. I have had a few letters saying what a wonderful celebration of phil's life and bearing in mind that you had never met him and spent a couple of hours with me it felt as though you had known us both. So thank you from all the family and myself - it certainly helped the day pass a little easier. Kind regards.

Funeral 2017
Hi Julie, Mum and all of us would like to say thank you so much for making a painful day so lovely.
Everyone commented how well you presented the service and a cousin of mine said he wished his dad's had been as touching. Folk kept going up to mum to say how good it was and that it was so related to Dad. I felt there was more laughter during the day than tears, which is what we all needed.
I was particularly impressed that you knew the words to 'Blue is the colour' and getting all the grandchildren involved.
We raised a glass to Dad when Chelsea won the league recently and mum even wore his Chelsea shirt in his honour.
Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Hi Julie, we just wanted to say a big thank you to you for Mum's beautiful service. You put in a huge amount of work putting it all together exactly as we wanted it and we know Mum would have approved! You enabled us to give Mum
a send-off she would have been proud of, and that was of comfort to all her family and friends. If any funeral could be described as “wonderful”, that’s how we'll remember this one!
We were quite overwhelmed on the day with the number of people that attended and so many of them said what a wonderful service it had been. Thank you for all the hard work that you put in. It really meant so much to us all.
