Kind Words from Our Clients

  • "I cannot articulate how wonderful my experience with Studio Saudade has been. Rebecca truly goes the extra mile during one of life's most difficult times. From assisting my grandma in her last days and hours of life to supporting me and my family emotionally. Rebecca also created my mother's and grandmother's funeral programs, the quality of her work stands out and is the finest quality. So many people wanted to know who made the programs because her work is far superior to what funeral homes offer. I highly recommend Studio Saudade, can't say enough good things about it!"

  • “I was able to express my true feelings with total honesty and it was received without judgment, but with genuine compassion and understanding.”
