I honestly can not thank these guys enough for everything that they did to help make my mums send off the best it could be, they bend over backwards to make sure we sent our mum off the way we wanted to. An amazing team. The only funeral directors I would ever use polite friendly and professional at all times. Johnothan himself took all the arrangements for my mum and did everything we had asked of them. Its never easy to say goodbye to a loved one but it helps to have Johnothan Terry's in your corner. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart ❤

    We were very much supported to create our own life celebration, rather than being pigeonholed into a standard "package". It's probably wrong to say we enjoyed it, but the experience made us feel we had given a great send off as we truly wanted. Most definitely would recommend and use again.

    Can not recommend Jonathan Terry enough. The service they provide after my Dad passed away was second to none, and it was all conducted in a sensitive and sincere manner. They where available at short notice when i wanted to visit my dad and made sure the funeral went smooth and as we wanted on the day. Thank you for making a sad experience as easy and memorable as it could be. 

  • 5 Mark Noyce 25th Jun 2023

    I thought I'd drop you a line to say 'Thank You' as fully expected yet again you and your team have delivered an immaculate service, first class from the offset.

    I really do have to commend you for such excellence. Nothing is to much, communication is smooth and everything and everyone is made at ease.

    The day went very well and both myself and brother Lee are very happy that we gave our Dad a good send off. With the sun shining down too, it really was a very fitting day in all areas.

    So again I really do thank you not for just Dad, but also my Mum in supporting us through two very hard times.
