We cannot find any fault with the very professional and friendly service provided by Edward and the Peartree team. From start to finish they were sympathetic, honest and truly caring at a very sad time. They guided us through the whole funeral process with such respect and integrity, they were able to adapt to unforeseen event with such efficiency. Edward arranged for a motorcycle hearse giving my dad a fantastic send off. Nothing was too much trouble, we have no hesitation in recommending them. Thank you Wendy

About Us

Jonathan Terry Independent Funeral Directors, Pear Tree Avenue, understand the importance of saying goodbye to your loved ones with dignity, respect, and personalised care. As truly independent funeral directors, privately owned and serving all faiths and backgrounds, they are committed to providing a service that honours the unique lives of everyone they serve.

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.

As a truly independent business, they take pride in the reputation they have built, the dedication of their team, and the unparalleled service they offer to families throughout Southampton and beyond.

Opened in 1998, their Peartree Avenue funeral home is located at the junction of Gainsford Road and offers a private chapel of rest along with free parking and full disabled access. Their opening times are 9am-5pm Monday to Friday but they are available 24-hours a day by telephone.

  • 5 Sarah Ray 25th Jan 2020

    Jonathan and his team were fantastic when arranging Mums funeral. They support us as a family every step of the way especially through the tears.. 
    Ann was wonderful when I had a melt down about photos for the order of service, she just helped me through it and talked to me.
    Overall Jonathan made what was a very difficult process, well, just easier, nothing  was a problem and In the end we felt like we gave mum the send off she deserved. 
    Completely professional with care and understanding.

    Thank you, so very much Jonathan, Tracey, your family and team for all your help, advice, from the very first contact, until our final goodbye, to our sister Sarah, on Friday so very special . Every step of the way, your vast knowledge and experience, guidance through the stages and procedures, and recommendations - like Sylvia Corke to take the Service-, together with your great empathy, compassion, professionalism, discretion and dignity made a very sad and difficult time for me, and my family, so very much easier, and run so smoothly. We all thank you very much for the excellent service and work that you have done for us. Sue x

  • 5 Chris Rowan 6th Dec 2019

    I would like to say a Big Thank You for all that Jonathan Terry, Peartree Avenue had done to fulfill my mum's plan and wishes. From the first meeting to all the help and guidance leading up to my mum's funeral.

    I don't think it could have been any better on the day, all went as it was planned. The beautiful hearse, the compassion that was shown throughout was just perfect, so pleased.

  • 5 Richard Martin 3rd Dec 2019

    Jonathan Terry were outstanding - They made great efforts to assure me that everything was taken care of in a clear and concise manner - they even checked that my to-do list was being attended to so nothing was forgotten. Bereavement is a difficult time JTIFD gave me the confidence that everything was taken care of. They took care of both my parents when they died and I knew that they were very good from previous experience and also from the response from the Hospice when I told them Jonathan Terry Independent Funeral Directors were taking care of things. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

    I can’t rate JT enough, very kind and helpful people at the end of the phone, nothing is too much trouble, sadly we’ve had to arrange two funerals within a year, but what would usually be a very sad occasion was made to be a wonderful celebration of life, with all the finishing touches from JT put into place, they also arrange a lovely Christmas carol service that we attended last year and will again this year, THANK YOU JONATHON TERRY
