TESTIMONIALS

It was as if he knew our Mother personally.

It is never easy planning a funeral especially if it is one's Mother. Stephen Semple was absolutely brilliant. Through out the process he remained just a phone call away. We had an issue with the Coroner's office which Stephen stepped into and resolved instantly. He demonstrated extreme empathy, understanding and sensitivity, giving us ample time to get back to him with information and details that were required. We had a clear picture of what we wanted on the day and Stephen helped us achieve this vision with such warmth and humanity. It was as if he knew our Mother personally. I cannot express my gratitude and appreciation for Mr Semple's high degree of professionalism which made an otherwise sad occasion a beautiful tribute and celebration of our Mother's life. We are grateful indeed.

The itself day went so well without one single hitch.


We were given Stephen as our funeral arranger and he came to our home to discuss everything. From the moment we met him we felt at ease. Stephen then mentioned that he was a celebrant so we decided to use him to conduct the cremation ceremony itself.

Stephen kept us updated in the run up to the funeral and guided us through and answered questions as they arose. He also helped arrange a viewing for the family.

The itself day went so well without one single hitch. It was a fantastic celebration of my father’s life and Im sure my dad would have loved it himself. Stephen was a great celebrant and everyone I spoke to afterwards said how great he was so thank you once again!

I made an enquiry about arranging a funeral with Fenix Funeral, and from my initial enquiry, they call me straight away and after talking on the phone, I asked if it was possible for someone to come and see me as I have never had to plan a funeral before and completely stressed out, Stephen Semple arrived and was so understanding and knowledgeable, he made me feel so reassured and explained everything to me so I had a complete understanding of what happens and thought you are the person and company to use, he was in constant contact with me and explained ever step, he conducted the service and it was totally what we wanted. I had every faith in using Stephen, that he didn’t disappoint at all.

 Stephen, T and Liz were the dream team. From the very start they helped us to feel at ease in a situation that was overwhelming. Being able to contact them whenever a question surfaced was reassuring. Their regular check ins were authentic and made us feel seen and heard. Above all, they handled our loved one with so much respect that at times it felt as if they knew them personally. Stephen as celebrant was beyond compare. He made the service feel so warm and vibrant - just like our loved one. It was as though a family member was leading the service the connections were so solid. I cannot recommend them enough

 It was such wonderful to work with Fenix funeral. Stephen was brilliant and so compassionate, polite, understanding and respectful. He wanted the best thing for our mum as if it was his own mum. This touch our family greatly. Communications between us were brilliant as well. Every details were being explained to us. Mum was treated with respect and the funeral parlour was beautiful and a great thank you to the lady who help us dress our mum, she was taking great care of her and wanted her to look beautiful. Will recommend Fenix funeral as we were treated so well.
