Jonathan Terry Peartree, have been used by my family for around 30 years, this in itself shows how this friendly family firm services are, and why we as a family will always use them. Always at the end of a phone, ensuring your relative is looked after as wished, to helping with all the small details of planning. All the staff are caring and professional, but most of all they are supportive and understanding when going through the hardest times. I can't fault them, nothing was too much trouble.. they are a shining example. We are lucky to have them here in Southampton

Exemplary and compassionate service by all employees at all times. They understand emotions and how to ease them for loved ones in a calming manner. A truly professional all-round funeral directors.

Stephen Noke 28th Mar 2021

Jonathan has a very calm and patient manner and the whole company is very professional - we always knew what was happening, we gave approval on all the necessary printed announcements like the echo and order of service. On the day Jonathan told us what we needed to do and ensured the close family were happy with everything. We ordered the flowers via Jonathan at Flowers by My Leslie and they were beautiful. We met the celebrant before the service and a neighbour asked if he was a close friend of my Dad's which I think is a tribute to them getting the story across. I would absolutely recommend Jonathan Terry

  • 4 Nicola Daraz 22nd Mar 2021

    The service got better, but at the start i had to call to get the information. We asked if someone could let us know when Maurices body was back from the hospital mortuary as his daughter was quite stress about him being to long at the hospital, that didnt happen. I was also told that we would receive a call when Maurice was ready to be seen in the chapel of rest that also didn't happen and i had to call. Apart from that the service was ok.

  • 5 Ian Phillips 16th Mar 2021

    Jonathan Terry Funeral Directors have been absolutely brilliant all the way through this incredibly difficult process. They made things straightforward for us from the very start, as well as being so understanding at every point. All of the staff I interacted with were excellent, the communication was exemplary and they are all a credit to the company. From someone who finds it difficult to not be in control of certain processes, everything went perfectly on the day of the funeral and their professionalism shone through. They made what was a very difficult day somewhat easier. Thank you so much to everyone involved, my dad would definitely have approved. I would have no problem recommending Jonathan Terry to anyone who needs them.

  • 5 James Fynan 13th Mar 2021

    Jonathan Terry dealt with the funeral of my much loved wife, Sandra. In all their dealings they were very professional and sympathetic. Slightly disappointed with the mix-up regarding the mourners cars but this was efficiently and reverently rectified. They have very kind and caring staff with a very dignified and reverent approach to the whole, extremely distressing, proceedings. Would certainly recommend Jonathan Terry in the future.

  • 5 Robert Booth 11th Mar 2021

    Jonathan and his team made a very difficult time a lot easier, thought and consideration before and during the actual ceremony were very well received by my family, never imposing too much with just the right amount of imput.

    thank you from the Booth family

    The process from initial booking to the funeral itself was very easy and despite Covid restrictions dictating that all arrangements had to be made by phone was pretty much stress free.
    The service itself and the printing of the order of service/memorial booklet for my Father was much appreciated by myself and our family.
    We found all of the Jonathan Terry team we met to be extremely professional and very focussed on making our experience as stress free as possible.
