“Deb gives her heart, soul, thoughtfulness and spirit to her work. She takes time and is authentic in her relationships, her compassion, and her respect and devotion to the families and the deceased. She clearly cares deeply about her work and sees it as sacred. It’s rare to find someone so deeply “called” to this work, and able to show up with every aspect of herself to support and serve the individuals, the process and service.”

”When my sister Jo passed away, Deb was the only person I could trust to ensue her body was cared for and celebrated with all the love, dignity and kindness we as humans could hope to offer at such a sad and transitional time. 

Deb’s professionalism supporting my mother and I was a shining light of stability and compassion making our roles in the seemingly overwhelming funeral planning process simple and stress free during a dark and deeply distressing time for us.

I/we can’t thank Deb enough and are genuinely pleased that she can now help many others as she did so selflessly for my sister Jo, mother Trish, and I. 

Wishing you all the best Deb, you deserve endless respect and humble admiration for providing this soulfully important and heart-centered public service. 

Much love, Trish and Scott Ferguson.”

”I recommend Down to Earth Funerals because I know Deb to be absolutely sincere in her authentic and honest commitment in providing a honest, heart-based service. Her approach honours those who have passed, in a way that respects completely the sanctity of life and the sacredness of death. Her assurance that we can meet the death of a loved one, in a “real” way, knowing that the sadness, shock and grief, can be supported in a humble and reverent way. The person’s death, and how it is acknowledged, truly becomes a celebration of their life and the love they shared. 

There will always be sadness and grieving when a loved one dies, but I know Deb brings with her approach, a unique and honest gift, that celebrates the life of the person who has died, and holds the friends and family in a circle of sincere care and compassion. I do not hesitate to recommend Deb and Down to Earth funerals.”
