The Aussie Celebrant

BOBBY HOLDER

Bobby did a wonderful job as celebrant for our father’s funeral. He was flexible, patient and incredibly kind as he guided us through the preparations, and his personalised approach during the service struck a tone that perfectly honoured our dad. Bobby was also highly attentive to the various administrative aspects of the day, which allowed us to farewell our father, without distractions. We are grateful for the grace and empathy that Bobby showed us during such a hard time and would recommend his services without reservation.
My husband of nearly 50 years sadly passed away recently and of course I was faced with the enormous task of arranging his funeral service.  I called on Robert Holder to act as celebrant and to organize all arrangements for myself and my family.  Robert visited my home and was extremely friendly, professional and sensitive to my and my family’s needs and was able to organize and manage all technical arrangements including screening of photographs and music arrangements and guest speakers.  Robert was MC at the service which was attended by about 250 friends and family who all commented on what a beautiful funeral service it was.  I have to thank Robert for doing an amazing job and for making our very sad day run so smoothly.
Hello Bobby,

I am writing to thank you for the personal and heartfelt service you conducted for my Mother in Law Marit Hauge.

From our first meeting you genuinely listened with interest  about her life and extensive travels to craft a unique ceremony to fit our creative family. You understood when to step forward and when fall back, allowing the ceremony to flow with calm, grace and at times chaos with little children being included.

We also cannot thank you enough for assisting with all the planning, everything from compiling and printing programs, music and a small slideshow to bring out the very essence of her life. She would have loved to be there, it was so unique. We cherish the memories of that day.
