Kind Words from Our Clients

  • “In 2018 we received a devastating diagnosis for our unborn baby. Rebecca guided our family and helped us find ways to celebrate the joy and memory of our daughter, and also cope with the loss of her in our own way. We have complete peace that her birth and memorial was as expected, absolutely heartbreaking, and yet also joyous, beautiful, and healing. I am confident that Rebecca can support and guide others in their grieving.”

  • "Rebecca is extremely compassionate with a heart of gold. She is able to truly empathize with her clients because she has personal experience in dealing with loss. Empathy combined with genius creativity, impeccable style, and utmost professionalism make Rebecca a true gem to work with.

    V.M | Knoxville, TN

  • "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 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!"
