Harvey performed the eulogy for my Mother’s funeral today, 17/05/23. My friends and family all came up to me after the service to say how wonderfully Harvey had captured the essence of Mum and that it felt like she was actually there with us.
I want to thank you, Harvey, for making one of the most difficult days easier to bear with your gentle, calm and professional manner.

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.

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.

Thank you, Harvey, for expertly handling the church service, and burial following my mum’s recent departure. I felt totally at ease from our first meeting.
Thank again and best wishes for the future.
