From my first phone call to Susan I have been supported and cared for.Susan guided my family through the process and listened to what we wanted.We left the choice of celebrant to Susan and I don’t think she could have chosen anyone better than Stiubhart. On the day of the service Susan  and Steven were there to support the whole family and mum got a wonderful send off. Since the service Susan has checked in with me and been a great comfort.
