Hilary Chandler 3rd Jan 2021

Having used Jonathan Terry for my mums funeral 15 years ago and having an excellent experience, it seemed only right to use them again for my dads recent funeral . I have to say it was all very professional and caring from start to finish. I would definitely recommend.

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.

    Sadly we have had to use Jonathan Terry’s excellent services twice this year & we can not thank them enough for their care & compassion under very difficult circumstances.  They took care of everything for us & we thank them from the bottom of our hearts. Hopefully we won’t need to but we would never use anyone else.  Highly recommend them.

    We were very pleased with all the arrangements organised by Jonathan Terry.  They were very kind and sympathetic and professional throughout.  The cortège was beautifully done so that a sad situation was  carried out in a way that was all I hoped for, for my husbands last journey.   I would  recommend this independent funeral directors  as I can’t speak too highly of them.

    Thoroughly recommend Jonathan Terry
    Special thanks to Ed, Tracey and Debbie.

  • 5 Sarah Tudor 28th Oct 2020

    The support we received was amazing, keeping gently in touch with us throughout the time leading up to my dad’s funeral, then delivered all my dad’s wishes perfectly on the day, even managing to find the steam train background noise. The order of service was beautifully printed, we were not expecting them to be so lovely with subtle connections again to steam trains. 
    Thank you for making a very difficult day become a day we can remember with some sense of fondness.
