From our first contact to being dropped off after the funeral we felt completely confident that everything would go smoothly - and indeed it did. The secret is to listen to the professionals and they will guide you through at a time when you don't need any hassle.

Everyone involved in Alex's funeral from the care and respect given to my son to the planning and actual funeral of Alex were fantastic. Communication was excellent every step of the way and the service was so very personal to him. I would recommend Jonathon Terry very highly.

About Us

Jonathan Terry Independent Funeral Directors, London Road, understand the importance of saying goodbye to your loved ones with dignity, respect, and personalised care. As truly independent funeral directors, privately owned and serving all faiths and backgrounds, they are committed to providing a service that honours the unique lives of everyone they serve.

Established in 1999 by Jonathan Terry, who has been dedicated to the funeral profession since 1985, they have built a solid reputation for delivering personal and excellent service to families throughout Southampton and beyond.

Over the years, Jonathan Terry have continuously reinvested in their business to ensure that they offer the best possible support to their families. In 2008, in response to the growing demand from families on the eastern side of Southampton, they opened their London Road funeral home.

In 2013, they embarked on a journey of redesign and refurbishment of their Peartree Avenue premises, culminating in the completion of the project in 2014.
A significant milestone in their journey came in December 2018 when they acquired 103 Peartree Avenue and launched the White Lily Centre, a bereavement centre offering counselling services to all. The White Lily Centre stands as a symbol of their commitment to supporting families beyond the funeral itself.

In May 2022, their services were further enhanced with the introduction of a new fleet of Mercedes hearses and limousines, ensuring that every aspect of your loved one's final journey is conducted with the utmost care and professionalism.

Behind every successful business is a dedicated team, and at Jonathan Terry Independent Funeral Directors, there is a team of compassionate professionals who truly believe in the importance of their vocation. Their unwavering commitment to supporting families during your time of need is the cornerstone of their reputation for excellence.

As a truly independent business, they take pride in the reputation they have built, the dedication of their team, and the unparalleled service they offer to families throughout Southampton and beyond.

The London Road funeral home opened in 2008 and is located on College Place, opposite the Crown Courts of Southampton, and is under the direction of Mr. Matthew Haines MBIE. It offers a private chapel, and a forecourt is provided for parking with full disabled access. Their opening times are 9am-5pm Monday to Friday but they are available 24-hours a day by telephone.

    Funerals are never easy, however this was my first experience of organising one and during lockdown period it was a daunting experience I dreaded. Margaret and everyone at Johnathan Terry were all so lovely! They were considerate to our feelings and helped so much from start to finish! My mum passed away in my home and from the initial call someone was there to gently take her away! The care of her and me and all our family was amazing! Thank you to everyone there for making it as easy as a funeral can be!

  • 5 Rebecca Saintey 21st Nov 2020

    We can not thank Margaret and Sarah and Ed and the other gentlemen at the service for everything they have done for us. They have gone above and beyond especially with sorting out our flowers. The best thing was giving Dad his last ride On a Harley motorbike as a hurst was such a special touch. They have made us feel safe and looked after and guided through one of the hardest things we have had to do, Dad was only young and they made us feel so at ease and supported us through every stage. They took such great care of our Dad. A massive thank you to you all x

    The staff were very helpful and the order of service booklet was lovely plus the arrangement of photos for the committal. In my bereaved stress I didn't follow the Obitus details properly and sent out the wrong details which was a great pity . Can I suggest that in future you take please through the site log on are personal meet and then put your warning IN BOLD when you email the details...advising to cut and paste exactly the wording (sorry , I missed it ! )Also too about the just giving, I was not familiar so didn't take advantage of it ).

  • 5 Ann Moss 25th Aug 2020

    Very professional, caring, and couldn't do enough for the family. Margaret was extremely calm and professional throughout. Thank you.

  • 5 Chloe Gale 18th Aug 2020

    From the time of asking them to direct the funeral they were brilliant, compassionate and took the stress out of things. From liaising with the coroner, preparing & viewing our loved one, arranging a celebrant and arranging detour en route to Crematorium so that colleagues could line the route safely. Highly recommended.

  • 5 Elizabeth Parker 16th Aug 2020

    Jonathan Terry funeral directors were excellent throughout. All the staff at the Southampton branch went above and beyond through our difficult time. Everything went easily and effortlessly and we did not have to concern ourselves with anything. They were very professional and i highly recommend their services.

  • 5 Mike Joyce 10th Aug 2020

    Jonathan Terry were a great help in helping us to make all the arrangements for Christopher’s funeral, especially as we do not live locally. The staff were kind, understanding and very efficient in all they did. The service was very good and very well organised which made the day less of sad occasion, more of a celebration for a brother’s life.
    Many thanks for your support and consideration.
    Myke and Sarah Joyce.

  • 5 Debbie van Coller 27th Jul 2020

    Covid 19 put restrictions on what we could do but Jonathan Terry provided exceptional support during a very difficult time. Everything ran perfectly and they were professional to the core and gave my husband the send off he deserved. Thank you 

  • 5 Robert Bhatnager 23rd Jul 2020

    Very professional, friendly and above all knowledgeable and easy to contact. My mother would have approved and been proud of the service provided by Jonathan Terry

  • 4 Mike Wright 9th Jul 2020

    Very helpful in difficult circumstances

  • 5 Irene Chivers 20th Jun 2020

    Having used Johnathan Terry for my Father's funeral, which was handled with care and dignity, they were the obvious choice for my Mother's.

    Again the service provided was one of care and compassion. I would thoroughly recommend them. Probably one of the best Funeral Directors in Southampton.

    I couldn't possibly praise Jonathan Terry"s enough, as a family we've required their services too many times over the last decade, but 4 occasions in the last 4 years. Unfortunately the most recent was my Mother, Mum insisted we would contact Jonathan Terry's when the day came. I have to say the levels of respect & customer service were already 10 out of 10 previously, with the current lockdown restrictions Jonathan Terry's raised the bar yet again this company is sheer class! The hearse began from our Mum's home and due to shielding our Dad (separated) couldn't attend, but the procession was able to drive past our Dads house so he could pay his respects, Mathew stopped the Hearse, allowed our Dad a moment and then began leading the procession walking in from off the hearse again. We arrived at the Crematorium, we parked as the hearse stopped and were asked if we would wish to walk behind the hearse for Mum's final journey (as the limousines were unavailable due to social distancing) Once again Mathew was class, he made a horrendous time to endure such a day with restrictions the best send off with just a few tweaks which made our mum's day unique and it was very dignified. Thank you Mathew.

    I can't not mention Margaret who has always been so respectful to any of us and our family over the years.

    Jonathan Terry's thank you for making our Mum's special day also such a special day for us as well.
    Pure class

  • 5 Valerie Hickox 28th Apr 2020

    We found ourselves in a very difficult situation trying to organise my father’s funeral in the middle of the Coronavirus outbreak but Margaret and her team at Jonathan Terry made everything so simple by taking over the entire organisation for us including the sorting out of Flowers, Minister, and Organist which could have proved very difficult at this time, as well as booking the crematorium at a suitable time to accommodate family travel arrangements. Everything has been handled with care and sensitivity and we would have no hesitation in recommending Jonathan Terry to anyone. My father’s Care Home were also very impressed with the services provided the company.
    Thank you so much.

  • 5 Georgina Vine 15th Mar 2020

  • 5 Christopher Thomason 10th Feb 2020

    At one of the toughest times Jonathan Terry Funeral directors were amazing. I can't recommend them enough.

  • 5 Jane Easlick 8th Feb 2020

Margaret,Sarah and Ed along with the others in the day were all very kind, caring and everything was explained well although they were not intrusive.We were allowed to have exactly what we wanted which made for an incredible service which meant the world to family and friends.They all look after everyone but most importantly they look after your loved one with love throughout.Highly recommend them for the support and aftercare too.
