— Debbie Morgan
"Respectful, caring and warm, Jo went through the whole process with me. It was actually an extremely cathartic experience and I know the funeral will be a celebration of mother and her life. It is truly wonderful to be dealing with someone who really has a connection with us."
— Bindy Mellor (about Jo Birkin)
"They sourced an incredibly beautiful bouquet of South African flowers for my South African-born dad - they heard what I suggested and came up with something that was so lovely that I was blown away."
— Penny Pullan
"Such a precious lady who gave me so much strength. Everything was exactly how my mum would've wanted it and more. I can't thank Joe enough for her support throughout the whole process."
— Rachel Meldrum (about Joe)
"Joe is such a lovely calm caring person and so easy to talk to. She couldn't do enough to help our family. We come from all over the country and Joe spoke to everyone who had questions and made requests happen. Joe helped read out readings and really made it special for the whole family."
