Doug McCleary: Celebrant, Officiant, Musician

Thank you for the amazing job you did speaking at my mom's celebration of life last month. I just now had a chance to sit down and send you this to let you know what a wonderful job you did and how so many people that day and even a few weeks after told me and my family how wonderful that service was for mom. Dad, my sister and I were very pleased and so happy you were able to speak for her. One of the ladies at the service made it a special point to tell me to let you know how fantastic you were that day and up-lifting. I am kinda still lost for words so I'm going to stop now and leave you with one more thank you!!!! Melissa M.

Thank you sincerely for making our life celebration of Terri personable, relatable and genuine. Your humor, compassion and kindness contributed greatly to people saying it was the best celebration they ever attended. A great gift you gave to me and our circle of family?.In Gratitude, Sue Ferguson Sue Ferguson

Many, many people asked me how you had known Dad, they were sure you were someone who knew him, by the way you conducted the service. I could tell that this is something you are called to do. I feel so glad that we were able to work together on this, and that it turned out so beautifully. You were the right fit for our family because you focus on and connect to others, and strive to meet their needs and make them comfortable. I think Dad would have approved of all of the elements of the service and I really feel it did him justice (a tough act to follow, believe me--he really was a great man, but also so humble). Again, thank you so much for the fine job you did. A lot of people came up and said how the service had helped them, and what a fitting celebration it was of Dad's life. That meant a lot to me.

Thank you a million times over for such a wonderful service you delivered. We received many beautiful comments made about the words and the way you delivered them.Your caring attitude and warm smile meant so much to me and my family. Thank you again. Sharon and Family

Doug brought my son's memories to life if only for short time at our Celebration of Life for Aaron, it was almost hard to believe Doug had not known him. Doug has an awesome ability to connect with the family and get a feel for their loved one. He spent time with us before the service, customizing what we wanted from the service. We had so many guest compliment us, stating Aaron's Celebration service was the best they had ever attended and praised Doug's eulogy as a highlite of the service. Doug you have a truly remarkable talent, it was my pleasure to meet and work with you. For those that may need your services in the future, I highly recommend you. Dianna Sincerest thank you!

Thank you Doug for a touching and funny tribute to my Dad. Without ever meeting him you were able to capture his spirit based on your interactions with different family members. You also did a fantastic job keeping us on schedule as we are very "talky". Look forward to hearing your band in the future. April S Well done eulogy

Pat and I want to thank you for your wonderful part in Mother's service. Just the right amount of brevity, humor and sparkle. Everyone said how much they enjoyed her service. It was comforting and special, as was our Mother. Thank you once again! Pat and Darlene

Doug, thank you for Susan's service. It was great. She would have liked it very much. After the service someone asked me if you've known her long and I responded that you had never met. They said you wouldn't have known that, you made the service so personal, it was perfect. And Terry and I are now saying "I love you" whenever we leave the house (thank you for that too). Jackie Criswell

Doug, we would like to thank you for your support and encouragement during this difficult time. Your words were inspirational and were a comfort for all who attended. Our sincere appreciation for delivering such a beautiful and heart warming eulogy. Charleen F. and Family

Doug, we can't begin to thank you enough for all you did for our family. The service for my dad was perfect.... You took time to learn about our family and it showed in your presentation. Please accept this thank you as a small token of our gratitude, and on behalf of my mom too. Gary and Sheri
