I just wanted to say a big thank you to Harvey. He was very caring and understanding, he had suggestions regarding music and a prayer that we were looking for. On the day I felt he was very supportive. On behalf of myself and family. Thank you very much

My sister and I would like to thank Harvey for his patience and understanding while we were planning mum's funeral and his diligence in going the extra mile to find the music we wanted.
On the day of the funeral Harvey was so very kind and professional it made mum's day exactly what we had wanted it to be.
We cannot thank him enough.

Dear Reverend,
We THANK YOU for a lovely service on Monday for Valerie, our dear Mum.
It was a "loving" service, and just how we wanted it to be.
You were very kind to us on the few times we met.
God Bless you,
Kindest Regards,
Chrstine

We commissioned Rev Barnes to celebrate my mothers life at her funeral, following a reference and reading testimonials.
What a terrific decision we made.
Harvey read faultlessly, a long testimonial (mum lived to 94yrs),
gave a passionate service, engaging everyone in the chapel seamlessly.
When it's my turn, or anyone who's funeral I arrange, then subject to availability, Rev Harvey Barnes will be commissioned.
Thanks from everyone who attended to Harvey

Our thanks go to The Rev Harvey in the wonderful manner he conducted Don’s funeral service. He took all the stress and worry from us which give us all peace of mind. He took the time to find out about Don’s life which showed in a most moving and caring ceremony and celebration of Don’s life.

We wanted a religious service for my father's funeral and the Reverend Barnes was recommended to us by the funeral director. He was very kind, comforting and understanding and conducted a lovely service on the day.

Dear Harvey
We just wanted to say thank you so much for the way you conducted the service for Charlie on Friday. We could not have wished for anything better for him and everyone we spoke to afterwards thought the same.
Thanks again

Dear Harvey,
It is a pleasure to provide you with a glowing testimonial in relation to the service you conducted earlier today for my late Grandmother, Gladys McEwen. The service struck just the right balance with your comforting words and personal, but professional, presentation. We offer our heartfelt gratitude.
Best wishes & kind regards.

Dear Harvey,
Myself and my family wish to give our heartfelt thanks for the beautiful service you conducted for our dear Mum Rosina.
You were very helpful guiding me through the process. Your humane qualities and own words struck the right balance of respect, consolation and made it personal for us, even those far away.
Although a funeral it felt like a celebration of our Mum’s life, the pain, joy and laughter.
Thank you.

Thank you Harvey for the beautiful service for my Mum on Friday. I would fully recommend Harvey for his calm and personal approach during a distressing time for families. Harvey's delivery of the service was poignant, dignified and with a dash of humour - and very respectful.
