Farewelling my 17-year-old daughter brought unimaginable heartbreak. Yasemin and Rite of Passage Funerals helped us do so in the most special, beautiful, and meaningful way.

Yasemin embraced every idea that was unique to us and to Neve, while gently offering the thoughtful guidance and insight we didn’t know we needed, helping shape a day that was more perfect than we could have imagined. Amidst the overwhelm and heartache, her patience, gentleness, and calm presence helped ease so much pressure, and for that I will always be deeply grateful.

Saying goodbye to Neve in such a heartfelt and intentional way has brought incredible comfort, and I know she would have loved all the beautiful details. Even now, eight months on, people still reflect on it as one of the most beautiful and moving farewells they’ve ever attended 🤍

Arranging the funeral for Pop was the hardest thing I ever had to do, I'd never done anything like this before and I count my blessings we came across Rite of Passage Funerals!

Yaz made everything so easy from the very start to even after the service. She was so detailed and caring. She listened to our stories and wishes and delivered above and beyond. She remembered every detail we mentioned and told pops story as if she was apart of it. One small example is she went and had personalised toppers made and put in his flowers as a special touch.

She is an amazing person; so genuine, caring and providing a service that you never want to need her for again, but if we did, without hesitation, we will be calling her when needed.

In light of the recent loss of my daughter's father, which has been an incredibly challenging time, I am profoundly grateful for Yasemin and her team.

The team facilitated a smooth and compassionate process, creating a truly magical experience. Along with numerous phone conversations being held with Yasemin throughout this process, Yasemin has maintained her authentic self, holding space from her heart each and every time.

I can sincerely say, I have deeply appreciated Yasemin efforts and, once again, the team. Thank you all so dearly.

Additionally, one of the attendees conveyed her enthusiasm for the process, stating, “Whom should I contact regarding this? I appreciate every aspect of it and wish for my experience to mirror this when the time comes. I have no interest in attending any church for my own.

A special thank you to Yasemin from Rite of Passage Funerals. From the very first moment we met, your sweet, calming voice and warm, smiling face made an incredibly difficult time feel just that little bit lighter.

Nothing was ever too much trouble for you — you made everything so personal, with such attention to detail, and went above and beyond in every way.

You were efficient, compassionate, and thoughtful, guiding us gently through each step. We are so grateful for the care and love you put into helping us honour Dad’s life.
