5Greg Tumilty8th Mar 2026
I have to thank everyone at Jonathan Terry for looking after my son James and I in what has been the most terrible thing that has ever happened to us. The passing of my wife Sarah in a tragic accident. I have never had to deal with anything like this in my life and the team at Jonathan Terry just looked after us. From my first meeting with Victoria through the following weeks being supported by Tracy, Trish, Matt and the immaculate Fernando I couldn’t have put my trust in a better company. Thank you for a splendid day on 4th March celebrating the life of Sarah, I will never forget your kindness and would always recommend your services to others. Many thanks and much love Greg & James

Our family have always used Jonathan Terry, and after attending many funerals over the years, it was my choice again. They have a wonderful talented professional team who guided and helped me through the many different tasks of bereavement in a positive sensitive respectful way. They achieved dates for the cremation and church service which we did not think was possible.

Johnathan Terrys personally led by Tom we’re fantastic with my mothers funeral. From our first meeting to discuss our requests to the day of her funeral was excellent. Organising the white horses and carriage for our mums life long wish was excellent. The whole service was just how mum and family had wanted.Sad time for us but professionally carried out. Thank you from the Shears family.

5Beverley Sparkes16th Feb 2026
Oh my goodness where do I begin - words cannot express my families gratitude to Jonathan Terry.
He had looked after both my parents so I knew we were in safe hands when I unfortunately needed to arrange my daughter's service however he took his care of us to another level and exceeded all our expectations.
He was so caring, kind and patient as I was not always ready to react in a timely manner such was my grief.
Jonathan's professionalism throughout our journey could not be improved on and
I am so thankful to him and his team for guiding us through the darkest days of our lives.
Quite simply this man is the most wonderful human being and I will be forever grateful that he choose this very difficult profession to excel in.
