About Us
Sentiment provides a video production and event planning service for funerals and end of life events. We ensure that a funeral is a fitting, memorable and unique farewell which celebrates the life of the deceased and brings comfort to all who attend.
Sentiment was established as a resource of information, contacts and out of the box ideas for both funeral professionals and families alike. From film production to event planning, Sentiment throws open the doors on the millions of options outside the conventional funeral box, ensuring families say goodbye exactly as they want.
Louise Harris
Managing Director
Sentiment Ltd is headed by Louise Harris, who has 10 years’ experience of event organisation and production, ranging from large scale events such as the Urban Music Awards to live festivals. She has provided entertainment and event management for parties of clients such as Elton John, Lord Jeffery Archer and corporate clients such as Coca Cola, O2 and Sony Ericsson. Louise founded Sentiment after her own personal experience of bereavement.
“When it came to planning the funeral I knew that I wanted more than the customary short, impersonal service followed by a small gathering over sandwiches. But I felt that the task of organising a worthy send-off was more than I could cope with at such a time. If only there had been someone to hand the responsibility over to. Someone to listen to me empathically and creatively. Someone experienced in event planning and video production. Someone who would carefully and sensitively work with me and get it right.”
