Losing someone abroad is extremely challenging and difficult. Having someone like Orlanda by our side was a real blessing. From the first call from Poland she was so helpful and empathetic. We had several requests during the whole process that many other would discourage and deem impossible. Orlanda is a person that makes impossible possible and is always available for a warm word and help.
Thank you again from our family.

Orlanda was a tremendous support to us after my father's passing. From our first meeting, Orlanda offered us a perfect blend of warmth and professionalism. She guided us through this difficult time, helping us make the many decisions we had to make. Despite it being a very difficult time, we look back on the funeral process with great satisfaction. The funeral was beautiful, and thanks to Orlanda and her assistant, we were able to fully focus on saying goodbye to my father. We highly recommend her services to anyone needing a funeral director.

Dear Orlanda,

Where do I begin...

You are fantastic, you have been a tremendous support to us. From start to finish, you arranged everything perfectly for our wonderful, sweet mother. From the first meeting to the funeral, and we still feel the love you pour into your work. The loving care you gave our mother and the way you spoke to her felt incredibly comforting and loving; she was in good hands ❤️.

Once again, our thanks and appreciation; words cannot express how grateful we are.

Love from us

The most difficult moment was there; calling a stranger at that moment to tell him that your great love had passed away...
Unfortunately I had to do this 3 weeks ago and from the moment I spoke to Orlanda, a kind of peace came over me. No matter how terribly sad you feel at that moment.
From the very first moment Orlanda and her team have been there for us. Loving, really listening to your story, integrating into the family and thinking of everything.
Super sweet to the children and grandchildren and incredibly respectful to me and my deceased love.
We received a very beautiful, warm and personal farewell for someone who more than deserved this.
Everything was there and nothing was too crazy.
Perfectly unburdened, with a laugh and a tear.
The cold, distant feeling was not there for a second.
Afterwards I only received compliments about how beautiful the farewell was.
I am very happy that you were there for us in this difficult time. I will be eternally grateful to you❤️
Big hug Kelly Wagemans-Schefers

In a period when life seems to stand still for a moment and the mind is overflowing with emotions and worries, it is a relief to have someone like Orlanda from Remember Me by your side. With incredible care, dedication and an eye for detail, she takes care of the entire organization of the funeral.

Orlanda has a perfect sense of what is needed to make a farewell personal and appropriate. She creates space for mourning, memory and connection, while she arranges everything in the background. It gave us peace of mind to know that everything was in safe hands.

Thanks to her, we were able to fully focus on being together with loved ones, without having to worry about the practical matters. The funeral was exactly as we had envisioned it – warm, serene and steeped in loving memories.

A huge thank you to Orlanda for her involvement and the feeling of security she gave us in one of the most difficult moments of our lives.

I can’t thank Orlanda and her team enough for all their help after the sudden death of my partner. Thanks to their help we were able to give him the send off he deserved and would have loved. Orlanda was always kind, compassionate and very dedicated to making the service as personal and fitting as possible, and conducted the service beautifully. Orlanda handled all the administration, like dealing with the hospital and crematorium, and checking on any insurance to cover the fees, whilst we were then free to concentrate on the details like the flowers, photos and music. Orlanda speaks excellent English and explained all the different options and gave advice when needed or asked for.
100% recommended.

Orlanda was an immediate source of comfort and reassurance during this disorienting time. She carries being empathetic, kind, organised and professional with ease. Speaking both Dutch and English fluently helped immeasurably.

We felt safe and cared for throughout this whole process and on the day of Harry’s celebration of life.

The celebration itself was beautiful and a really fitting ending to a wonderful life. Thank you kindly Orlanda and team.

Something you never want to experience, the death of your child. We were really lucky to end up with Orlanda and the RememberMe team. Orlanda took so much care of us and arranged so much for us. Nothing was too much or too crazy. She was also there for us at any time of the day if we had questions or needed a listening ear. The funeral was exactly how we had envisioned it. But also something that suits us and our son completely. Even months after the funeral we can still contact her. If there is someone who can listen well and sense what you need, it is Orlanda. And that is worth a lot during such a painful and difficult period.

Being a foreigner and losing a family member in a country not your own can be challenging. We were glad to find RememberMe funeral services. Orlanda and her team guided us through the whole process. She took care of everything from putting us at ease in the initial telephone conversation and first visit to our home to discuss details, to the service itself and after care. Her professional and courteous handling of the practical details in an emotional and difficult time for the family were very much appreciated. Orlanda is very warm and personable which made contact easy. Communication and handling of all the necessary arrangements was quick and swift. She helped pick the right location for the service and came through with all promises made, and more. In short, we can highly recommend RememberMe.
