Working with Michelle during one of the most difficult times of my life was truly a blessing. Outside of her professionalism and attention to detail - you can tell that she truly cares and understands what people are going through after the loss of a loved one. While not in her job description; her innate ability to navigate emotions and complex family dynamics with grace is what truly sets her apart in my eyes. You can find a million "event planners" but Michelle of MyFuneralPlanner is truly special and it was a gift to work with her. She made my Mother's send off everything she would have wanted. The family kept saying "it felt like mom" - that kind of consistent compliment is only possible when working with somebody who LISTENS and reads between the lines. At times she knew what I needed before I did. While I hope I do not have to navigate another experience like this for a very very long time; I know who I am calling when I do. Thank you Michelle - a million times over.

I recently suffered the sudden loss of my mom. As the "leader" of my family, the responsibility for planning her memorial fell entirely on me. While I had most things laid out, I had a very difficult time finding clergy to officiate. I scoured the internet only to find countless officiants for weddings, but none for funerals or memorials; it wasn't even a search option. When Michelle’s organization appeared as a funeral planner, I "shot my shot" and sent a message explaining my desperate need. Michelle responded right away. After I detailed what I was looking for, she simply said, "Easy work." She found an awesome Reverend for me in less than 24 hours. She immediately went to work and delivered without any problems. I am so impressed. Honestly, I truly wish I had found her services when I first started planning; after speaking with her, I instantly trusted her judgment and expertise. She is kind, knowledgeable, professional, and provided wonderful advice. Michelle was able to pinpoint and fulfill my needs so quickly that it saved me an incredible amount of stress. From here on out, I will refer her to everyone. I will certainly utilize her services again to assist with the planning process when the time comes for other family members. Michelle even offered assistance with lingering tasks and other services I didn’t even know I needed. She is a true Godsend, attentive, kind, and efficient. Do not hesitate to use her services! Reach out to her, because she is so well-networked I’m sure she can assist with whatever you need. I am deeply grateful to Michelle for easing this stressor so promptly. I will be a forever customer. — Shontè

It was divine providence that I got Michelle with My Funeral Planner. My father is to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery, but I live in South Carolina. She is coordinating the hotel, the reception venue, the caterer, the transportation, the prayer cards, the program and things I probably haven't even thought of yet. I was able to breathe again after speaking with her the first time. My appreciation of her and her company knows no bounds.

Details: Corporate event • 26 - 50 guests • Partial planning (help in select areas) • Venue selection • 1 - 2 months • Remotely (phone or internet)

I recently had the experience of working with Michelle, founder of My Funeral Planner, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for her exceptional service involving the funeral and reception of my beloved father during this incredibly challenging time. From the very beginning, Michelle demonstrated remarkable compassion and thoughtfulness, making the entire process much more bearable for my family and me. Her attention to detail and organizational skills were truly impressive. Her vendor list is extensive. Every aspect of the planning was handled with utmost care, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. She was incredibly efficient, yet never rushed us, allowing us the necessary time to grieve and remember my father. What stood out the most was Michelle's genuine empathy and understanding. She took the time to listen to our needs and wishes, providing invaluable support and guidance throughout the entire process. Her thoughtful approach and unwavering support made a difficult time significantly easier to navigate. I wholeheartedly recommend My Funeral Planner to anyone in need of funeral planning services. Her compassion, organization, and efficiency are unmatched, and her ability to ease the burden during such a challenging time is truly remarkable. Thank you, Michelle, for your outstanding service and for being a beacon of comfort when we needed it most.

Michelle was absolutely amazing. Everything she touched was beautiful, and she handled all the difficulties the venue threw at us with aplomb. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
