VJANOVA Uitvaartbegeleiding

What I experienced as extraordinarily pleasant was the frequent contact with Ilse after the death of my husband. She took a lot out of my hands and thought about the organization of the farewell. I was given ample time to think about details and to consult with her, so she also gave me peace of mind, which is very important in such a violent period. We had regular contact in the week before the farewell and when the day arrived, she made sure that everything went smoothly from the moment of arrival at the crematorium. After all the speakers had spoken, she also read the text written by me very nicely. No matter how deeply sad the farewell was, it was warm and beautiful and the feeling about it is really good and the latter is very important to her. After all, you can't do it again, Ilse made sure everything was just right.

Ilse perfect how you helped us through this time, when my grandmother passed away. It felt like we could have you for a long time. You are a gentle and sweet woman and you know what you are doing. You were our rock in the surf. It was a really nice goodbye, something she really deserved. We could contact you with all our questions and wishes. You arranged it. We are very grateful to you.

After the death of my wife, I experienced the guidance of Vjanova as TOP. In particular, the personal approach and the reassurance that everything would be properly arranged. Ilse Hendriks from Vjanova arrived at our house at the beginning of the night. She immediately reassured me that everything would be properly arranged by her. Especially her tip that there would be enough time and that we did not have to rush. Then a calm passed over me that lasted for days. At that point I got a lot more faith in her than I actually already had. That night we started drinking tea and she explained certain things at a leisurely pace. Then we sorted out the box and she had it delivered the same night. While waiting for the coffin we picked out the mourning card and then Ilse Hendriks indicated that this would be enough for that moment. Later that night my wife, in her coffin, dressed and made up, left our house for the last time. After a few hours of sleep, I had contact with Ilse Hendriks several times, by telephone and by email, regarding the final mourning card and a draft plan for the funeral. The next day Ilse Hendriks delivered the mourning cards to my home so that I could send them. During the days leading up to the funeral, we still had contact to put the finishing touches on the i. The day of the funeral went smoothly, completely according to the script. I was also personally approached several times by Ilse Hendriks with the question whether I was “ready” to perform certain actions, such as laying the flowers, giving a speech, leaving the coffin behind, making toast, etc. The day after the funeral, Ilse Hendriks approached me to ask how I experienced the funeral and how it went with me. I also got certain things from her, for example the DVD recording that was made. In short, I am very happy that I chose Vjanova.

The guidance from Vjanova is friendly, respectful and compassionate, but also straightforward and clear where necessary. We think along where desired and I have experienced this as very pleasant. Thanks for all the good care.

Ilse supervised my father's funeral. Sweet professional lady who thinks along and nothing is too much. It didn't feel like a “stranger” about the floor, which is great in an emotional time.
