As a family we can not thank you enough for all the support you have given out family at this very difficult time .. 

Linda Bate 24th May 2022

Jonathan Terry were so kind, compassionate and caring throughout. We were in very safe hands and they guided us through the whole process whilst giving us all the time we needed to grieve and come to terms with our loss. The funeral service was managed by them in a dignified manner and, the celebrant, Diane, was truly wonderful. I cannot recommend them highly enough. A very tough time made easier by their professionalism.

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.

  • 5 Dawne Edwards 13th Mar 2022

    Jonathan and his entire staff, especially Tracey, were outstanding throughout the whole process. I am based overseas and was organizing the funeral and they went over and above to accommodate my requests via phone and email, despite the time difference challenge. They took the time to walk me through the entire process, answered all of my questions, worked with each member of the family locally and did it all with kindness, grace and a level of patience I never knew existed. It is never a good reason to have to work with a funeral director, but this experience was first class from start to finish.  I highly recommend Jonathan and his team for any of your bereavement needs. They make one of the worst times in your life one of of them most comforting. I cannot thank them enough for treating our loved one, and us, so well.  Exceptional service with care and kindness - thank you.
