Susan Terry 2nd Aug 2022

Heartfelt gratitude to Jonathan and his team at Peartree. Daunted at the prospect of arranging the funeral of my dearest Mum, Jonathan immediately put me at ease and guided me through the process with professionalism, sensitivity and kindness. After my initial visit Jonathan contacted me regularly with updates which was greatly appreciated. We were made to feel as if we were the only family being ‘looked after’. Paramount to this, I felt confident that Mum would have been treated with dignity and respect whilst in their care for which I will be forever grateful. Thank you all so very much.
